We love solid foods!



We are working on the solids. I feel maternally deficient as far as that goes, though, because all the other 7-month-olds are eating a wide variety of fruits and vegetables and cereals, and our guy gets oatmeal or rice cereal mostly when we feel like it and have the time and inclination to deal with the mess. And what a mess it is. He's such a good little helper that he insists on controlling the spoon himself. Sometimes it even works!

The picture is of him "eating" this teething biscuit. He goes crazy for them because I think they make his gums feel better--he's got his first tooth fixing to pop through one day soon now--and also because he gets to hold it himself. These are a treat we like to save until just before bathtime.

I'd like to take a half a day sometime soon here and make a bunch of baby food to freeze in ice-cube trays. You can pop the cubes out and keep them in freezer bags to heat up one at a time whenever you need them. Sounds like a good idea to me.
