food success

new development #2

Food!  We are finally at a good place with eating solids.  He will eat basically anything.  This includes a paper envelope that I let him chew on while we went grocery shopping and when I took it out of his mouth a huge chunk was missing and there were little bite marks all around the hole.  We'll probably be seeing the remnants from that in a few days!  He eats some fruits and he has had egg yolk for breakfast foods.  He eats a little of whatever we're eating throughout the day but I usually also feed him some sweet potato with oatmeal cereal mixed in it, or some carrots, or anything else pureed.  He does eat a little bit of "adult" food though too - he ate some white beans with chicken this afternoon.  Seems like he just needed a few more weeks to grow and get into it because one day last week he suddenly took purees and foods like a champ.

camera grabber

new development - camera grabbing!

it's harder to take photos sometimes because he has been reaching for the camera whenever i get close enough

photo catch-up

photos from the past few weeks.  he has been changing so much lately!  i feel like the past week or two i've really started to notice a big leap - bigger than any leap so far.  he just seems way goofier and more interactive.  squirmier too!  he's being silly in a lot of these shots

snowy days

I'm guessing these were from a couple Sundays ago because Jared is in them and it is before 11 oclock P.M !  Lately he gets home around 11pm Mon-Fri, 4pm Sat, and he has Sundays off.  We make the most of our weekends with quality time that's for sure

picky pickle eater

He won't eat pears, he won't eat carrots, he won't eat beans.

Pickles he loves!

Don't worry we only let him chew on it a little for taste and then stopped him.  Too much salt for a baby!

At lunch at Vinsetta Garage where I had the 3am Hot dog - 2 hotdogs with siracha mayo, fried onions, fried egg, and chives

6 1/2 months

Don't be fooled - all that food went into the trash, with the exception of that half a mum-mum he was eating.  Oh well!  We are taking small steps and he sure enjoys feeling all the new fruits and veggies!

He has his 6 month appointment tomorrow so we'll see how he's doing : )
