Food!
Now that things with the child are somewhat more “normal”, you’d think I would have a bit more me time. But he has started solids, I seem to be spending a huge amount of time preparing food for the gaping hole that is his stomach. I would call it a black hole, except that output still equals input…
Stuff like this -

goes in, and I won’t talk about what comes out.
Frozen steamed pear, kiwi fruit and rockmelon. It looked so pretty, I just had to take a picture.
He’s been showing great enthusiasm for new foods.

This was an empty box - he’s not allowed fruit juice yet!
Last night he had cauliflower for the first time, and ate quite a bit of it, as well as brown lentils mixed with pumpkin, and zucchini and broccoli. So far, he’ll eat anything I give him, and he shows more enthusiasm for new things after he has had them a few times. Unless they are sweet, in which case he will eat until he explodes. The new nickname is Mr Creosote.
And yesterday, we found a tooth!

OMG, a tooth! He’ll be finishing High School before you know it!

What a gorgeous boy! Eating such colour coordinated food can only add extra vitamins to his diet. Am looking forward to the solids stage, but not the output.

He’s just getting more and more gorgeous!

Isn’t he clever! Oh for the days when my kids would eat anything I shoveled into them! No such luck any more!
