Max Stats: Weight: 13 lbs, 12 oz. Height: 25 3/4
Shots: Today Max had his first shots. And can anyone tell me whose cruel idea it was to make the mom hold them while they are being tortured??? He was looking up at me, holding onto my fingers, smiling. Then the look on his face...I cried. He cried. We cried.
Home safe with Dad. (He loves this positions.) Solids: I tried some rice cereal for the first time today. (Not sure you can really call it solid.) Max loved it!
"What am I supposed to do with this Mom?"
"More Mom More."
"Humming"
"Mom, this is taking too long."On a food note...the pediatrician told me that it is a fallacy that if you give infants foods before a certain age they will become allergic to them. He said that we could actually give Max anything to try. Crushed, pureed, etc. But anything. Apparently there is a window of time between four and six months that they are especially able to try anything. I didn't think that he meant to start off with something like Indian food, but James said to go for it. I gave him the tiniest taste of our Saag Aloo and he actually seemed to enjoy it. Of course, that is not surprising considering the amount of Indian food I ate while pregnant with him.
*Notes: Hib & PCV shots, not sure which shot went into which leg. Reactions: Cranky, cried for quite a while before going to sleep, just lasted the one day. No bruising around shot area.

I agree with your pediatrician. Babies have been eating foods for hundreds of years and been just fine...so really they can't eat yogurt or eggs or cheese? I let Logan eat whatever he can chew and swallow. I'm a pediatricians worst nightmare. :)
Love the first food pics! It's so fun to see the expressions babies make when introduced to new substances. I've heard the same advice about them not being limited to what they can eat, so long as it's nothing they can choke on, although Weldon is adamant about no gluten before the 1 year mark because of being worried about increasing the chance for celiac disease. Hmmm...makes me wonder...
