I had to start solids for L recently at 16 weeks, he's a very
hungry baby but of course he's still too young to feed himself so he's fed from a spoon, he loves it, gobbles up all of his
baby porridge, carrots,
sweet potato etc I have no doubt that he will want to attempt this by himself as soon as he can but it's whatever works best for us at the time, no wrong or right way!
Feed
hungry babies, wipe up spills, exercise patience, calm squabbles, clean, cook, organize, get the laundry washed and put away, doctor's appointments, school activities, baseball, football, soccer games, plan celebrations and holidays, decorate for parties and seasons, bake cookies for school events, buy and wrap presents, hugs, kisses, storytime, grocery shop, clothes shop, fix boo - boo's and owies, bring encouragement, pray, comfort hearts and wipe tears, make happy memories, play games together, care for them when they get sick in the middle of the night, change diapers, bathe the little ones so they're fresh, clean and smelling
sweet, tuck them into bed with prayers at night, get out the door to go to church with hair combed and shoes on, tell them you love them to the moon and back, sit, listen and look into their eyes and savor their sweetness... and a million other things!
