Every night, and I mean every night, for the last month Lucas fusses at dinner time. If he is asleep, he wakes as soon as the food hits the table and then the crying begins. We have succumbed to holding his while we eat. Either Ned or I have him on our lap as week eat one handed. The non-holding parent cuts the other parents meat!
In the last three or four weeks Lucas has become very curious about what is on our plates. He has catapulted salad, eaten napkins, grabbed forks, put his fingers in potatoes...and so forth. One night he helped himself to my applesauce. He swung his hand in it and sucked it off his fingers.
Pediatricians now recommend waiting until six months to introduce solids, but we he was ready...
Easter Sunday, April 8th 2012, just two days shy of turning five months old...
Rice Cereal: Take one.
And, it was a success. Smiles, coos, talking and lots of lip smacking!
