Hey tenny yes he sounds like he is ready too. I only give Liam 1 tsp with 1 tsp of apple(the one that say from 4 months) and I make it pretty runny. Not so runny. It ends up being about 6 tsps so its good. Its just enought I think to help him sleep. But who really knows. But if they are looking and wanting to reach for you food then he is ready. I think some kids are ready and others arnt. But the symptoms are pretty easy to see when they are ready. Good luck with it hun. Im sure all will be great.
