do me a solid


after lots of prodding from family members (mostly my mom), we finally introduced
some solid foods to marty boy.  however, i would like to point out that their/her prodding
in no way influenced the timing of this introduction - we said we were waiting until 6-months,
and we did.  i also stuck to my guns when it came to the actual first food.  if she'd had her
way his first real food would've been ice cream.  good grief.

getting him in the high chair for the first time was a breeze.



we first tried rice cereal, and although we didn't get pictures of how much he hated
it, we did get some stellar video.  priceless.



next (on another day, the next week, because the rice cereal was only slightly
less than traumatizing on all of us) we tried carrots.  thankfully, with completely
different results.







it may have been messy, and it continues to be messy pretty much every time,
but he liked it.  and since then we've found some foods that he loves: sweet potatoes,
mango, and butternut squash.  i'll take the mess for just a second of that smile every time.
