Broccoli

Carter has been such a great eater when it comes to solids. Today he had broccoli for the first time and, as usual, ate it without complaining (though he did make some funny faces when he wasn't sure what it was). As with most foods, I steamed the broccoli and pureed it with a little water.






I am so glad that Carter is a good eater! After all the trouble we've had with him keeping down food when he was younger, I'm so happy we don't have to battle getting him to eat solids (at least not yet). He is getting much better at keeping food down. I'm not holding him up for as long after feedings and he's doing well. For the last couple of weeks, I only hold Carter up for 5 minutes instead of 20 at night and he hasn't been spitting up in his crib at all. During the day it's impossible to keep Carter immobile after feeding him so we still have a little (occasionally a lot of) food coming up afterward. But he's getting better and better.
