Reward

Kevin had to get shots today so as a reward afterward, we went out for ice cream. Nothing is as refreshing on a hot day as a soft serve cone!

Toast

Alan loves zwieback toast. Mmmm, tasty! Mommy likes it because it lasts longer than Baby Mum Mums, but what a mess! It's all over his hands, arms, face, ears and clothing.

More food!

Alan continues to explore the joys of solid food. Today he ate pieces of apple in a mesh snack bag. Yummy slurping sounds ensued!

Baby Mum Mum - Day 2

Baby Mum Mums

After a lovely meal of oatmeal and apple sauce, Alan finishes up with a Baby Mum Mum cracker.

I like solid food!

Alan is enjoying solid food so much he grabbed the spoon right out of Mommy's hand. Let me reload that spoon for you little buddy!

Alan Eats!

Today, Alan had his first encounter with solid food. Rice cereal, yum! He's been eying the contents of the dinner table for a while, so it wasn't a surprise when he eagerly took his first spoonful. Here we have his expression after that first bite.





He was a pretty enthusiastic eater. If Mommy wasn't offering the next spoonful fast enough, Alan was sucking on Daddy's arm. Poor Daddy!

FW: Look what Alan can do!

So why does this blog post begin with "Forward"? Because this is a copy of the message that Daddy sent to Mommy's cell phone while she was out playing Bunco with friends on Friday night. Everyone was asking for the latest pictures of the boys, so she reached for her phone, and found out that Daddy had sent a REALLY recent picture! There was much "ooh"ing and "ahh"ing, as well as quite a few "He's growing so fast!" *sniff sniff*

Yep, he's holding the bottle and drinking

Mac & Cheese!

Kevin makes a mess eating mac & cheese.

Food!

Kevin has been feeding himself for almost a week now. Finally hurray! We started with grapes, added in Pirate Booty, then moved on to cheese cubes, whole olives and little cream cheese sandwich bites. Yum! Kevin washes it down with some milk.
