sweet potato

Yesterday Eli had his first taste of non-cereal, non milk-mixed food.  Sweet potato!  I pureed it with pear juice because we were at my mom's (doing laundry, our laundry machine/dryer and currently disconnected while our basement is being renovated).  He was entirely unsure of what to think about this new food.  The texture was new and we were still getting used to pear juice so I think that might be why he wasn't too sure.  

Today we tried sweet potato again.  We made it at home with milk and the texture was much smoother and based on Eli's reaction, more palatable.  He gobbled it down with similar vigor to his cereals.

By the way, he cut his second tooth yesterday, as well.

And he slept 7 hours straight last night.

PROGRESS.
