Breakthrough :)

I think we have a breakthrough in our solids introduction!
He's starting to purposefully chew off bits of the finger foods we give him and chomp on the small bits in his mouth.
Some gets swallowed inadvertently, but most gets spit out after he's done tasting it.
And I consider that tremendous success!
And what little pureed food we're feeding him, he's starting to be receptive towards.
I'm so incredibly happy, excited and proud!

Organic jarred mango banana bliss went down well yesterday.
Followed by a good try of cold carrot sticks.
This morning's avocado slice was a hit as well!
He loved it :)
Of cos the favorite so far is still pear, but I think we're starting to explore other flavors :)

There's something very satisfying in watching him learn to eat proper food.
Satisfying.
Incredibly.

woo hoo!!!



In other news, today the 1st of August 2011, Monday,
he's moving around so much more already!
The playpen arrived and we set it up for him on Saturday.
He seems to love it at the moment, so we'll see ;)
Just now I went into his room and caught him pulling himself up with the railings of the crib into kneeling position.
Oh boy.
Standing is gonna come soon isn't it?
Time to lower the crib soon.
But I don't want! :(
Boo.

Someone tell the kid to slow the eff down please?
