Puddin' loves pears!

After a couple weeks of avoiding solids... mom decided it was time to try again (sans rice cereal). I kept an open mind and as a result: my taste buds were awakened. I like pears! I even grabbed the little spoon and put it in my mouth myself! Anxious to see what other kinds of flavors are out there in the world...
mom said I'm just gonna LOVE pureed meats.

Mirror Mirror on the wall...

...who's the cutest, sweetest, most specialist baby of them all???

where the wild things are

Nawni and Poppi gave me some funny looking stuffed animals...
They certainly don't resemble my brown bear or pink pig, but they're just as fun to play with (i.e. eat).

Bath time is my fave

I love taking baths! Mom says it's because I'm a Pisces...
either way, it's the time where I can eat my washcloth and play with the toys that squirt water. I could hang out in the blue bucket for hours, but mom says I'd get "pruny", whatever that means. Daddy likes "dry off duty", where he gives me a baby massage with some yummy smelling lotion, then wraps me up in my soft bunny towel!

won't let the cold get me down...

Unfortunately, I came down with my first cold. Boooooo! I have all this congestion & stuffiness and am coughing a lot. It's not fun... however, mom is keeping my nose as clear as she can (with the suction bulb that came straight from the devil himself). It'll take more than a measly virus to impinge upon my playtime!

we may be at a stalemate as far as foods are concerned...

...but sitting up by myself is a milestone I reached happily!!! Thanks to mom & dad, who had persistance and propped me up even though I kept falling over. I now have new, wonderful vantage point. Lying down is SO August, 2009.

Nice try, mom...

But you can't fool me! She tried giving me some nasty new food again... this time it was orange. Who in their right mind eats orange foods!?! I could sense the faint taste of some trusty breastmilk mixed in, but it wasn't enough to make me commit and swallow. Most of it ended up on me or the Bumbo. Surely mom will tire of cleaning up the messes that result in this new venture...

Solids = Change = NO

Well, since she got the green light from my doctor (now that I'm officially 6 months old!), Mommy decided to feed me cereal tonight. Between the 82 vaccinations I got in my legs today, exhaustion, and the fact that the rice mush tasted like something I'd deposit in my diaper, I was NOT havin' it. Mom will just have to try again when I'm in a better mood! :)
