New Discoveries

My little boy is getting so big!! He has loved to eat since day one; or before if you want to count my pregnancy weight gain....sigh. Well, it seems lately every time we eat in front of him, he gives you this look like, "Can I have some?". One of my biggest fears is him choking on his food so I have been content with baby food. He is clearly ready for something else because he eats every 2-3 hours! I always tell my mom that she is "such a grandmother" because she is always encouraging me to give him table food. The time has come when I am having to introduce some new foods to him. I gave him some puffs a couple of months ago and he seemed confused and didn't like the texture. I let him try some again last week and he really liked them. He chewed them well and I was glad that he knew to move his mouth and not just swallow it. Next, I tried some veggie puffs that are kind of like cheese curls. I put one on his highchair tray and after a few seconds of playing with it, he used his fingers and put it in his mouth! I was so proud! Look at me, I am proud of my son because he fed himself. It's the little things when you are a mama!  At lunch today, my mom gave him a french fry and to say he loved it is an understatement. He gets this from me that's for sure. Then, tonight after he finished his dinner, I let him gum on a vanilla wafer as I held it. He was in heaven! If only he ate his veggies like this. I have to do a bite of fruit then a bite of veggie. This is a great trick that Honey taught me and it definetly works.

I go order my lunch and I came back to this. My Mom gave him a straw to play with!!

"Yes, I think I like this!"

"Let me help you with that Mama!"

On New Year's Day we went to Honey and Papa D's house to eat some good luck food and watch football. That afternoon, we were playing with Sawyer on the floor and he was getting up on all fours and was rocking back and forth. He has been doing this for a while now but he will get up for a second and then just fall on his belly. This time was different. Kenzie and Cindy were holding a toy in front of him and he crawled forward. He just did it once but I'm sure he is not far from being all over the place. He is also starting to pull up on me and he loves to stand and walk with me holding his hands. We are in trouble here in a few months!
