basking in the babiness

We have pictures of A. eating at Thanksgiving 2008.  That means she was about 3.5 months old

Then, with K.  we waited until he was a little over 4 months old

But, with this little guy, I just want to keep him a baby.  He is so fantastic and I feel in NO rush to let him grow up.  However, he has started reaching for our food and the big kids have been begging to feed him.  So, we started with some sweet potatoes that we were eating and then moved on to carrots and pears.  All the same foods that we had for lunch or dinner, just mashed a bit.

So far, an empty spoon is really fun.  Spoons with food are very interesting and maybe gross.

And... bibs, hair, highchairs, floors, and Mommy look way better with food splattered all over.

Sweet baby boy, I know you will grow up.  Just, please help us to remember to savor all this time with you!

Love,

Mommy
