But the goal right now is just for him to get familiar with the spoon and all that jazz so it doesn't matter that he ate less then a baby spoonful. In Germany they recommend starting with veggies at 4 months. They used to encourage waiting until 6 months but the allergy rates didn't decrease so now they are back at 4 months. Teddy is 17 and a half pounds now and clearly wants to be eating with us so I am happy to start slowly introducing purees and porridges.
He also loves to drink water from a little cup. He sticks his tongue in and laps at it like a dog LOL. I'm hoping that he will be able to really eat purees for one meal a day in about a months time. I'll let you all know how it goes:)
Parsnips were James first veggie too! My cousin had brought us some from Germany. I remember him liking them pretty well at the time, but I'm pretty sure he wouldn't eat them now. When he got a little older I really liked the ones made with potato, like zucchini and potato, or broccoli and potato, they don't make those in the US, but the consistency is really nice and thick!
