So we have ventured into the world of real food beyond mommy milk and he LOVES it. We haven't gone too far as many of my friends recommended leaving fruits to the end so he'll actually try and like the veggis so we have done carrots and squash. One day as I was eating breakfast and talking to him I just watched him as he tracked my spoonful of mini-wheats to my mouth and back to the bowl with his mouth hanging open like a codfish the whole time. I thought, "hmm, I think he's interested." With that, I spooned out some carrots and away we went. He puts his arms straight out and opens his mouth wide in anticipation of each bite which surprised me as I was sure he would put his hands right in his mouth after I loaded him up, but he doesn't so so far, so good on the major messiness. The best part is that he does his little "huh, huh, huh" stutter laugh (those that have heard it know what I'm talking about) as he waits for the next bite. He clearly thinks this food thing is great. That night when Greg got home we fed him the rest of the carrots and he developed a rockin carrot goatee like his dad's--like father like son. Love my boys!
