Food! Nom, nom, nom!

Gavin's first "solid" food attempt was a success. He really seemed to enjoy it and most of it even made it in. He didn't end up wearing all that much. I have to admit that even though this is an exciting and good thing, I am a little sad. I had said even though the pediatrician had given the go ahead, we were not going to try it out until Scott and I had found a high chair we both agreed on. Sadly, last weekend I ended up coming across something that was a happy medium between what we both were looking for and it came Tuesday. Once we got it together, Gavin took it for a test drive...


He seemed to like it or at least not hate it, so we hope it will be a nice addition to our kitchen decor


I was still holding out hope that even though we were going to give it a try that Gavin wouldn't be impressed and would reject it. I knew that was unlikely given his interest in everything around him (including food) and him wanting to put everything in his mouth.

So the following afternoon I mixed up some rice cereal and I gave Gavin a spoonful and Scott stood by documenting with both cameras. Unfortunately, the video he took was much better than the still shots and I have yet to try to tackle uploading video. So, the one Scott got that at least shows that Gavin is eating...


Scott took over after a bit because I had to start rolls for dinner and I got a couple of pictures that are pretty funny and show Gavin's enthusiasm for his new adventure.

"GIMMIE!!!"


"I'm trying to eat here, leave me alone! Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!"


So, I now have to come to terms, yet again, with the fact that he is very quickly growing up and no longer needs only me... very sad indeed!
