Food: It's What's For Dinner

As you can see, Adam has taken to solid foods. He'll eat most anything, including vegetables, fruits, yogurt, cheese, etc.

At first, we focused on the classic baby foods, i.e., pureed peas, carrots, etc. with an occasional foray into oatmeal or similar. However, when we went out to Washington, Grandma Beth began pushing all sorts of new foods Adam's direction, and there was no turning back.

Cheerios quickly became a favorite. He wasn't likely to choke on them, and he could work on his manual dexterity by practicing his "pincher" motion. Sadly, we've created a monster with the Cheerio thing. He's gone through approximately three pounds of Cheerios in the last three months.

I'm not kidding.

And, as an added bonus, we find stray Cheerios everywhere! We're such lucky duckies!

Apple makes him happy. Fruits in general tend to be big hits. Mmm, natural sugar.But not everything agrees with him.

I think the pickles are as much for our amusement as for his benefit.

This is what happens when the apple finally does make it in. He just keeps chewing off more bits until his face is stuffed like a chipmunk. Then he tries to swallow.

(It's a pineapple core. Like I said, mmm, natural sugar.)

Eventually, it will be all people-food all the time, but for now it's a combination of milk and food. At least we know that there are few foods he's not interested in when the time comes to make the switch.
