Fruits, Bluum Box, and Army Crawling

We have tried all of the fruits, even prunes, and Anthony really loves them! Yesterday, Anthony's 5 month Bluum Box arrived and it had a sample pouch of Ella's stage 1 food. We tried it last night and Anthony absolutely loved it! It was pears, mangoes, and papayas and he devoured that like nobody's business!

Speaking of the Bluum Box, this is one of my favorite subscription services that I've ever had! The boxes are PACKED with new items and you get so much for the price you're paying! ($29 I think?) We've gotten two so far and they've both been awesome, although this latest one was better than the first. It came with three teething toys, the baby food, a snack for adults, and makeup/cleansing wipes. Everything they send is also available for purchase on their website and you can customize the box by adding three new milestones each month and/or adding on items to your subscription box! I think I might get more excited seeing these boxes than Anthony does!

Anthony is almost on the move! He has started pulling himself around with his arms to get where he wants to go. It's amazing watching him go after toys or even turn himself around while on his stomach. Matt and I are in for some trouble once he really gets moving, but luckily we'll definitely be in the new apartment when that happens! Which, speaking of, officially happens this weekend! My parents and siblings and Matt's mom are all coming to help us with the rest of the stuff in the apartment, mainly the big stuff that needs to get moved like our dining room set and shelves and mattresses.

Vegetables and Fruits

Anthony has tried them all! We just tried peaches last night, although it didn't go well because he was in so much pain from teething, but he did like the few bites he got down! So we tried carrots and sweet potatoes last week, both of which were favorites, and then bananas, apples, pears, and peaches, which were also favorites obviously. He does so well eating them, if you get him before he gets really hungry he'll eat the entire container and then have a bottle. If you get him too late, he gets too hungry to focus on eating bites and just wants a bottle. We try to get him before that stage, though, so he doesn't become a lazy eater. Now we just need his teeth to finally break through!

More Vegetables

Anthony has tried two new vegetables: yesterday he had green beans and today it was squash! He did well with the beans, but he loved the squash! Tomorrow we'll be trying carrots and then we can move onto fruit! I bought some apples, bananas, peaches, pears, and prunes (which are more for constipation)!

Vegetables

Anthony tried vegetables for the first time today! Our pediatrician recommended starting with vegetables, and the grossest ones first, so that he gets used to them before having sweet fruits. We tried peas yesterday and he loved them! He ate an entire container of them and then had a 4 oz bottle. What a little piggy!

Cereal

We were successful! Anthony just tried rice cereal and loved it! He ate about 2 tablespoons worth and really did well with eating it. He did well keeping it in his mouth and swallowing his spoonfuls. I'm so excited!



4 Month Checkup

Today was Anthony's 4 month checkup with Dr. Eden! Again, he is in perfect health and growing rapidly! He weighs in at 14 lbs and is 25 inches long! He got another round of vaccinations today, the same ones as last time. He was a champ and only cried for about 5 minutes afterwards and then he fell asleep. Dr. Eden also gave us the go ahead to start giving Anthony solid foods! We're starting with cereal this week and moving on to green vegetables (peas and green beans) next week! We're going to start tonight, so I'll probably post later with a picture of the results of his first feeding! For now, here's a picture from the doctor:
