Mackston has been interested in eating for so long. He loves to chew on his tongue and make smacking noises while we eat and his little feet run like crazy whenever I fill up my water cup. So tonight he officially had his first food. I very much dislike this milestone because I would rather be his only food source for longer, but the boy wants his food.
He was ready to join the dinner table.
His first meal was carrots and chicken. Yes, those are full pieces of food. We are doing baby led weaning with Mackston which is a form of feeding in which you give the baby pieces of food instead of purees. This is a new thing for us too so we shall see how Mackston likes it.
He spent most of the time trying to grab food to get it into his mouth. When he did finally get a carrot in his mouth, he gnawed on it and made a face like he didn't care for the taste.
He mainly chewed on the chicken.
I'm not sure that anything made it down besides some carrot flavored saliva, but it was a successful first meal.
