Jason is on a roll!

I didn't realize how difficult it was going to be to sit down and write a blog with a baby. I thought I would get my blog in while Jason naps. That just doesn't happen. Hopefully I can take advantage of being awake before Jason and get some more updates in.

Enough with the rambling, Jason had a big weekend. Thursday around 2:30 pm I had him on his play mat, doing "tummy time" when I hear a thud. Not a loud one, just a noticeable one. I look up from what I was doing and saw Jason had flipped over! From his front to his back. This means I can't have Jason on the couch and run to get a drink without moving him to the ground first. It's a big milestone for babies, and at 4 months 1 week he caught us off guard. Matt missed it because he was at work, but over the weekend Jason showed his daddy his new trick. We even got it on film.

Jason also got to try his first solid foods on Saturday. He loved his first option of Sweet Carrots. Turned his face orange =] He was not fond of Beef in Beef Broth (I tried it, it was disgusting). After having some carrots I switched to beef and he gagged on it. I tried it before giving to him, and let me tell you... groooooooss! But I wanted to see what he thought about it. The decision is unanimous, and it went in the garbage. I'll give him some real beef and make sure it's mushed good so he can eat it.

Jason kicks his feet and gets very excited when he sees food on his spoon. He opens his mouth and leans in for the bite. The food will swish in his mouth a bit and he spits a tiny bit out with almost every bite, but Mom and Dad are here to catch his mess. Really, he isn't that messy, SO FAR! He's blown a few bubbles, splattering here and there, Or he will stick his hands into his mouth with food on his tongue. Nothing baby wipes and some Lysol can't handle. He is allowed to eat anything we eat except honey. Even peanut butter and strawberries. Apparently during the years of delaying foods that cause allergies for babies saw an increase of food allergies instead of a decrease, so Dr. says to let him try them. Makes me nervous and want to buy an Epi pen, but I'll introduce them slowly.  Below is a link to watch him eat.
