Sean and Aleece

We have been giving Kalven “solid” food for a few weeks now and he just loves it. Now I put solid in quotes because what he gets is basically a pureed version of whatever he is eating. This is exciting for Aleece and I because Kalven has has some acid reflux since he was born. The reflux leaves Kalven spitting up a lot, and I mean A LOT. He was on some anti-acids to decrease the amount he spit up, and they worked pretty well. At Kalven’s 4 month checkup the Dr. told us to try moving to solid foods and discontinue the anti-acid medication. So far (knocking on wood) the solid food has worked, and an added benefit is Kalven LOVES his new foods. So far he has had rice cereal, sweet potato, and peas. Sometimes Kalven gets so excited to eat that he gets upset that we are not shoveling it in fast enough. One time I was trying to keep Kalven happy and was scooping food into him so fast that when I looked at him I thought he had a big nasty booger hanging out of his nose, turns out I had actually missed his mouth a little while giving him some pureed peas and ended up smashing a bit up his nose. It actually looked kind of funny, probably gross to someone that does not have kids, but I have seen worse.
