Poor Little Guy!

Wow...it has been awhile since I've blogged. So sorry! It's just been a crazy couple of weeks. Anyway, I was going through our old pictures and found these:




Wow, poor kid! These were from a couple months ago when he got his first tooth. We were so excited and wanted a picture. These totally crack me up! He was a trooper and put up with us well, though!

Now, believe it or not, he has four teeth...yes, four! It's craziness! He loves to show them off with a goofy wide grin, which he was just starting to do in the pic below. When he gets really excited he'll pull this face while he goos and wiggles his arms and legs in an attempt to bounce up and down. I love it! It's my very favorite thing when I come home from work and he does that. It always makes my day!


He's not such a fan of finger foods, and to be honest, I'm not too good at pushing them because I get terrified when he gags or anything. I have this fear that he won't know how to gum it and try to swallow everything whole. Tonight I am proud to say that we overcame that fear (after I read, and reread and reread an article on infant CPR...yes, I'm extremely paranoid). He successfully ate cooked, sliced carrots and...big confession...oatmeal cake for dessert. He loves cake!!! It's the first thing that isn't pureed that I don't have to pry his mouth open or catch him off guard to fit it in. He takes after his mom! In my defense, I will say that I cooked it from a healthy cookbook recipe, just to make myself feel a little bit better. :)
