Hey girl. Thanks for the tip. I tried again giving him some pasta and tiny pieces of a meat ball. He initially started making the chewing motion so I thought it was going to go well but he ended up gagging and puked. My poor baby just isn't ready yet. I tried the puffs about a week ago. I think he just isn't ready yet so I'm not going to push it. If anything, I might try some of the stage 3 foods and go from there. I'm not much of a cook so it is just as well. This way he is happy with the baby food and I don't have to prepare anything. You're little man is so cute. I love the pics of him standing. Jacob is doing that also. I call him my little shadow. He follows me everywhere (crawling). I love love love the slide show pic of Noah. Such a handsome little due.
