He has increased his formula intake to 48 oz. per day, which is way more than he should be drinking. As a result, the poor guy has been constipated...ouch! So, our pediatrician wants us to start solid food fast.
We started with Oatmeal, thinking it would be easier on his tummy. Eily put the spoon towards his mouth, and just as I expected, Colin grabbed it from her hand and shoved it into his mouth! He immediately started to cry & spit out the food. We tried rice cereal the following day and then did not go any better. We will move on to carrots this afternoon- we are hoping for success!

four months! I can't believe it. Of course he passed all his test, i think we will all be amazed at what Mr. Colin will be able to accomplish in his life. I did not know that drinking that much formula could make you constipated - but yes absolutely ouch. Love the pictures of him trying to eat - such the excitement of grabbing the spoon and such a face while tasing it. I can just see and hear Eily laughing. Thats for sharing this - i feel like i was right there with you guys.
