Food, glorious food!

At last, Mom and Dad let me use my high chair, then days later, finally feed me some baby food! I've been relaying my desire to eat by watching their every mouthful. And tonight, success! Mom put me in my high chair for the first time a few days ago, but I've been lagging on my blog as I've been catching up on my beauty sleep from the trip. The high chair was fun- I played with my toys as I watched Mom make dinner (nothing for me at that point) I especially love my new game of dropping or throwing my toys, and getting Mom to retrieve them.

I look pretty grown up! Then, after weeks of eye begging, Mom and Dad feed me food for the first time. My straight liquid diet fast is over. Up first, sweet potatoes! Yes, something orange, and great for making a mess. Here is my first bite, delivered by Dad, with an assist by me.

Hmmm, and what was my verdict?

Pretty good! After some more, I decided this was a lot of fun.

Mom and Dad learned that next time, it might be best to remove the clothes when serving orange foods. Cool, naked dinner time! Up next on the menu, peas, squash and applesauce. Oh, and cereal, of course. I've heard a lot about that. When I went shopping with Mom and saw the box, I got really excited and tried to tear open the wrapper. This is going to be an exciting week!
