Guess Who...is eating solids??

Little Bode has finally decided that he likes food. I tried rice cereal several times, but he was not interested. Finally, in desperation to get the girls to each eat ONE green bean, I pulled out the baby food jar to show them that even their baby brother could do it. And he CHOWED!! It seemed a little thick still, so I mixed it with some rice cereal and water, and he loves it! Another strange thing happened that night...he slept! I went to work and Steve didn't get up with him once in the night. I guess the poor kid was starving.

The girls have really had a blast putting two types of food on his tray and letting Bode "pick" his dinner. Of course they are both dying to feed him too, but it is such a slow and messy process to let them help, I just don't have the patience. So far, he has eaten: green beans, peas, carrots, sweet potatoes and squash. At my dad's last Sunday, we tried to give him pears. It was hilarious...he would make sour faces, gag and dry heave, which would make his entire audience laugh...so he would smile.

Seeing Bode in the all familiar highchair brings back 6 years of baby feeding memories for me. We are getting very differing opinions of who Bode looks like, so I have put together this comparison. The big picture on the right is of course, the man in question. To the left are the big sisters...around the same age, about the same goo being fed to them, and of course, the same high chair. (What's funny is that they are all in different houses!) Paige is the top baby and Claire is the bottom. I just don't know, I kind of see both the girls in him!
