We have tried giving him solid foods (baby food) a couple of times. He actually seemed to get what he was supposed to do with it (chew and swallow), but he doesn't really care for it very much, which I think is perfectly normal. We've given him rice cereal and avocado. We've only tried it. We're not on a routine with it or anything. I am hesitant to really start, because once I do, there's no going back! I kind of like the convenience of breast-feeding. No preparation. No clean-up. And it's ALWAYS available!! :) The reason we decided to start trying the baby food is that he has been really grabbing for our food and drinks lately. He seems to really understand the concept of eating and drinking. In fact, if we give him a cup, he grabs it with both hands, and lifts it to his mouth, tips his head back, and takes a drink. Maybe it's just instinct, or maybe he is one observant little dude. Either way...it's pretty cool.
Here's a video of his first experience with solid foods (rice cereal):
And here are some recent pics:
