Food!

After several days of Michael putting absolutely everything into his mouth, drooling up a storm, thinking a raw carrot stick is the best toy available, and desperately wanting to hold and chew on whatever we happen to be holding, we started introducing solids.  Michael LOVES food!  After almost two months of sampling solids his favorites appear to be butternut squash, bananas, and steak (not necessarily in that order).

Michael gets his first taste of "solid" food -
bananas mashed up and thinned out with breast milk

one of our favorite baby-gadgets: the amazing mesh teether,
currently featuring a frozen puree of apricots and prunes

our first taste of meat: a bit chunk of steak to chew on
- it was a HUGE hit

we LOVE butternut squash!
