Henry's first taste of food!

So Henry will be 24 weeks on Saturday(6 months) or in my eyes, officially 6 months on the 22nd of this month. BUT, I don't think we could have waited any longer to give him food!!! Both Shane and I were getting excited about it, me especially because I can't wait to make him his fun fancy purees!! But I still did not want to rush it!! He has been literally lunging, grabbing and reaching for food for the past month now!! It almost felt like we were teasing him!!
Well today we decided to just go for it!! We went shopping at Whole Foods, and I was getting a whole bunch of good produce, so we figured, why not!!
We went this banana first, because i read that for breastfeeding babies, it is easy to digest, and I really don't see the point of cereal...it taste bad, and there is not much nutrients in it.
We mashed some banana with breast milk, and this is what he thought of it!!

 See, he is attempting to get at the bowl!! Owen was excited to help him eat. Owen always asks is we can give the baby food. He probably thought we were starving him!!
 He really wasn't too sure about it. I thought he would be all about it, but maybe he is not going to be a fan of bananas, just like his momma!!

 So we let him just taste and feel the whole banana. Don't worry, he couldn't bite of anything!
Then we just let him play with it, because he was already a mess!! 

It was a lot of fun, and hopefully each time goes better!!
