We started Austin on baby food at 4 1/2 months because he decided to start nursing every 1 1/2 hours day and NIGHT! Ack! I don't know how else to say this other than...he LOVES FOOD! From the first moment he tasted it on the ride home from Portland he couldn't get enough! In fact, he started out eating two full bowls a day...instead of working up to it. 
Alex thought it was really cool that Austin was doing something new and of course jumped right in to help feed him. He was so funny because he would give Austin a bite and then couldn't resist giving himself a bite. I asked him if it was good, and he said, "Aa" (which means yah or yes). You can see it in the video below if I can get it to work.
When Alex is feeding Austin he always opens his mouth like this and says "Ahhh," to get Austin to see what he should do...it is really cute. It reminds me of the mom on the Incredibles when she is feeding baby Jack.
Austin always attacks the spoon and won't let go. So, I have to use two spoons and I just switch them back and forth because whenever he sees a new bite coming he lets go of the spoon he is holding and grabs the new one.
He is a pretty voracious eater.
If you don't feed him fast enough he yells at you.
He is so sweet!
Blessing his mushed up bananas.I guess it is such a shocker that he loves food this much because when Alex was this age he was still a "boob man" and wasn't really interested in baby food until he was 6 or 7 months old.

At the end of the video Alex says, "Baby like it!" So precious! Alex can be such a little "mom" sometimes to his brother. It is really cute.
By the way, I titled the post that way becaue no matter what meal it is, Alex always announces that, "Dinn'as ra-eey." And whenever a timer starts beeping in the kitchen he announces it as well. It is really funny, especially first thing in the morning when we are about to eat breakfast...."Dinn'as ra-eey!"

That was really cute. Alex is so helpful. I can't believe how Austin can chow down. I fed him a banana at church and he was CRAZY about it! I was a mess. Some lady had to help me pull out some wipes to clean us up. LOL
Wow! I can't believe he can eat so much! Scar loves the food, but she can't eat that much yet. He is so cute! I love how Alex feeds him! And eats it too. So funny. Oh man, 1 1/2 hrs? I'm glad you found a solution. I would have lost my mind.
I love the video, Alex is such a good big brother! Especially taste testing for his baby, haha! Yeah, sounds like Austin has a healthy appetite... :) He is so cute!
Robyn, your boys are so precious! That video is absolutely adorable. What sweet brothers :o)
