J's latest food endeavour

Tonight, J tried Cheerios. Just a few. He wouldn't pick them up off the highchair tray, and instead, he relied on me to put one in his mouth at a time. Then he chomped them up with his two little bottom teeth until they were soggy and small enough to swallow, smiling away the whole time. He loves foods that he can chew, and he really prefers them over foods that are smooth in texture.

My little boy sure can eat! I don't know where he puts it all, since he is such a teeny little baby. But he eats probably a good cup or more of cereal in a day, spread over 2-3 feedings, plus 2-3 large servings of fruits and veggies and his milk. In a couple of days, we'll be starting him on meats too. I am sure he will quite enjoy that.

I think you had already left the pool on Saturday when Gemma was feeding cheerios to ARGL. If was so cute. She would put about five in her own mouth and then lean over and put one in A's mouth. They both seemed quite happy with this arrangement.

That's adorable! Babies are so wonderful.

Draya isn't interested in picking up her own cheerios yet either. She is much happier when we feed them to her. And when Gemma does too :)
