Oliver's First Bite

Oliver had his first solid food this last weekend. Mashed bananas! He really seems to like eating. We've been letting him play with a baby spoon recently (see earlier post) which has proved both good and bad. The good is that he's used to having the spoon in his mouth and adding some food to it was the next natural step. The bad was that he's also used to controlling the spoon himself, so now that his parents are trying to line up the choo-choo train for the tunnel, he reaches out to do it himself. He gets his chubby little hand around the spoon and stuffs it in his face. We also moved on to rice cereal, which he also enjoys. We're beginning to understand how a few spoonfuls can end up everywhere - in his hair, in his ears, on his feet, on the wall, all over our clothes. Fun stuff! -Keith
