Eat it up!

We knew it was coming. The big rice cereal day. 

A week away from being a 6 month boy. You were so ready.

You had been grabbing our food and drinks 

(and necklaces, hair, and phones) 

and trying to eat them for a few weeks. The time had come.

You had your morning milk and then we set everything up. 

We didn't pretend to be experts. This was new for all of us.

We sat you in your bumbo, strapped a bib on you, and 

talked with really high voices about how excited you should be.

You grabbed the spoon with both hands and pulled it in.

Your face was priceless.

With each bite you have a look of total confusion 

but you eat it all up and grab for more!

You spit a little bit up and it was sure messy 

but you are getting better and better each day!

Throughout the week I have thought about that face 

and it still makes me giggle to myself.

Daddy loved feeding you. 

You can bet there was some "dramatic mess voice".

We are big food lovers in this family, Graham. 

So you jumping right in makes a lot of sense. 

I can't believe we are already at this next step! 

You're such a big guy.

Here we go food adventure.

Here.we.go.
