The Stevens Family

Yesterday Dylan tried applesauce for the first time! He has been eating cereal with a spoon since he turned 4 months (so a couple of weeks now). He has had the rice and oatmeal single grain cereals and seems to like them pretty well, so we decided to go ahead and introduce some fruits. We try to eat with a spoon once a day but sometimes he is too tired after daycare and we skip a day or two. When he is in a good mood and is well rested, he really seems to like eating like a big boy.

He really enjoyed the applesauce; I think he was ready to get beyond the bland cereal and the milk he is used to. Here are some pictures and video of him enjoying his first tastes of his first fruit.

In this photo he is gearing up for the first bite and is watching his daddy get it prepared.

Here he is demonstrating his “spoon” ability. He is getting pretty good at it.

In this video Dylan is trying applesauce for the very first time… he seems to really like it!

And here he is enjoying a little cereal with some applesauce mixed in. He gets a tad excited in this one.
