Solid Foods

So Hunter is 6.5 months old.... :o( (Time please stop). He has completely been weened off nursing. I just wasn't producing enough to satisfy him. I lasted 6.5 months...I give myself props!  He has taken well to formula and also solid foods.  There are some solid foods that I can't feed him fast enough, then there are others that take him a day or so to eat. 

He LOVES aka can't feed him fast enough:
    1. Sweet Potatoes
    2. Bananas
    3. Squash
    4. Peas

Foods that take him a day or so to like:
   1. Applesauce
   2. Green Beans
   3. Carrots
   4. Apple-Strawberry-Banana mixture

He does not like any type of cereal.  I've tried barley, whole wheat. I bought some oatmeal today and going to try and mix in some formula and a fruit. I've heard that mixing cereal with some type of fruit will help Hunter like it more.

He's sleeping through the night....but some nights I spend the night on the couch with him.  He just fights sleep so bad, that it's hard to just let him cry it out. I have yet to let him cry it out. I don't think I ever will....no matter what the doctor, books, or magazine say.  I would just rather spoil him and hold him.

He's teething. He will chew on anything you give him.  I've been noticing that he will chew on my shoulder when I pick him up.  I hope this doesn't lead to biting. 

That's all the updating I have for now!
