our second first

Big day for a certain 6 month-er in our house today! Finally ... after gazing longingly and none-so-subtly as we all ate our own food meal after meal ... Walter took spoon to mouth this afternoon and treated himself to some lovely brown rice mush. Ahhh, food. And to think it all begins with mush.
He did well! And like all aspects of his docile, laid back personality he didn't gag or respond too dramatically as Henry did his first time. Yes, it was only just a year ago and we were feeding Henry the same cereal and snapping the same 53 swallow-by-swallow pictures. And yes again, we certainly had just as much fun doing it this time!

Oh Walter, it's amazing how much you've grown up lately, even just this past week! I am loving getting to know you better and better and really truly think you are perfectly perfect. And so, so beautiful.
Well I'm just saying ... look at that smile!

Yummy! ...Maddie loved her first bites at 6 months... It's so fun! Have you tried an avocado with Walter yet? (I remember how much Henry did NOT like it). I haven't dared with Maddie but maybe mixed with some banana it would be ok???
Good luck with Walter's new menu!
Chey.

Good job, Walter! Next thing you know it will be prawns in garlic, stuffed mushroom caps, BBQ steak, spinach salad, and chocolate-caramel cheesecake.

I think it's time to make supper....

Oh Cass you guys just have the cutest kids :) I snoop from time to time - since they are so healthy I don't get to see them at work! And one day I will succeed again and make Henry smile - it will be my mission! lol

He looks so cute in his high chair! I hope he is a good eater for you. Jack is the happiest when he is eating :-)
