Simon has spent most of the last month getting after it at the dinner table. While we had let him try a few things – Cheerios, banana and those Gerber puffs – it wound up as a total finger food fail. So, we waited until Thursday, Sept. 17 to try it again and then IT WAS ON. He had some cheese and bread that night with us at dinner and loved it. He has not looked back since. He’s devouring Cheerios, several kinds of bread (biscuits, crescent rolls, garlic bread, etc.), pasta, bananas, strawberries, raspberries, cantaloupe, apple, raisins, zucchini, peas, carrots, squash, applesauce, puffs, oatmeal, yogurt and tortilla. We also are adding things by the day and DUDE LOVES ALL OF IT. He loves to eat and there is no way possible you can feed him fast enough. If you take one split second longer than he wants, he will let you know about it. In short, he’s a great eater and we're happy about that!Because of all the finger foods, he is way less interested in his bottle. He still has it but not nearly as often. I hope he weans himself at Christmas like Harmon did.
To work off all that food, he is army crawling like nobody’s business and just starting to pull himself up. While he loves his toys, his favorite activity as of late (well, besides eating) is giving his big brother a heart attack by getting into his toys. We’re working on sharing – it’s going OK.
Lots of new words and sounds but STILL NO MAMA! Damn it, kid.
And, lastly, yes, at 10 months, the eyes are still blue. I’m starting to believe.
