FOOD!

I don't know how it happened, but everything seems much more exiting in the world of having a child. Look at the last post - "Toys!" - and this one - "FOOD!" - clearly a sign that life's little simple moments are amplified greatly with the little dude. Of course, I might always respond to food that way, but that is just me.

I am not sure if I would have been quite as excited about eating the brown rice cereal that we fed Q on Sunday morning. It is mushy and runny (1 to 4 ratio of cereal to milk), but after a long time of him eying whomever was eating around him, and gumming his lips expectantly, it seemed like this would be fairly good time to try.

Day one was pretty eventful, with some of the mush getting in his mouth, and some running down his neck. He seemed pretty interested in the spoon and the sippy cup that he uses to get a swallow of water (also a first) to wash the few mouthfuls of cereal down. In, what is becoming classic Quin mode of chill and relaxed baby, he merely sat and opened up his mouth while Mom spoon-fed him a few bits.

I'm ready -


Hmmm....not too bad.....


Water, this is interesting


And here's the video of the whole event. Just an advance warning, the narration here is so titillating, you may not be able to contain yourself. The one lesson learned by the big people was that filming and baby activity is much easier after that first cup of coffee.




Day 2 - After Coffee, Dad gets a try.


Just hand me the spoon, I am ready for this eating thing.


Rolling update - Q is rolling frequently, but seems to be camera shy. When either Mom or Dad pull the camera out, even sneakily, he becomes very set in staying on his back. However, we do have witnesses at this point, after Q rolled over while Skyping with his Aunt Elena and Uncle Jason. Just another reason to Skype with Q--you might see his famous roll!
