He also started drinking more water the last few months (they say not to give them water before six months) and he loves sipping on the last bit of mama's Ningxia Red!
I've been roasting sweet potato and butternut squash like it's Thanksgiving! Owen loves them!
I also wanted to take this chance to dispel a little rumour... the one that says you have to start rice or oatmeal cereal if they are ever going to sleep through the night; because in my case, it's just not true!
I'm not judging if this is the route you choose to go (you do you mama and go for it!), but I'm just saying that it is not the only way. We decided to keep Owen mostly grain-free for the first year of his life because I believe it's easier on his little digestive track. The most he's had is a little quinoa mixed in with some of the organic pouches he's had if we're on the go. BUT he sleeps like a champ! Usually down to bed at 830pm, up around 830am and naps twice a day for at least two hours. UM....you don't NEED baby cereal for your baby to sleep like that!
At this age, I find if he's seemingly hungrier some of these veggies higher in starches and calories, do the trick.
