Trying real sweet potatoes for the 1st time--
He LOVED them! Mr. Independent is only happy if he feeds himself now.
Best idea ever! Give child a whole peach, let him play and eat,
takes up a good 20 minutes and he LOVED it!
As Julia Roberts says in "Pretty Woman": "One slippery little sucker" : )
Connor's world has really opened up now that he can eat 'people food'. Last night we tried real sweet potatoes and a whole peach. It was such a happy dinner time for him! Connor is pretty much bored and refuses to eat baby food now. He has become coordinated enough to feed himself (although its rather messy..but hey, it was pretty messy when I fed him too!), so he is not completely happy unless he can feed himself. He was a giant sticky mess at the end of dinner and the bath had lots of sweet potato and peach debris floating around, but he got his fruits and veggies for dinner & enjoyed every moment of it! : ) We have also tried egg yolks (can't have the whites yet for allergy reasons), pancakes and toast. This morning, we had yogurt cups with his favorite, "Dora" on them...which he continued to smile at through out the whole meal : ). My little flirt!
Look who is pulling up now!
'Ahhh...now how do I get down?!'
More pulling up fun!
'Hey Mom!'

So now that Connor is officially mobile and crawls away in a flash, he is now brushing up on his pulling up skills. I try not to freak out when I see him pulling up...I want to give him space to learn, but don't want him to conk his head on a table, tumble down on the hard floor, etc. Mr. Strong Man is loving the view of the world from the floor and now up higher! He is too funny to watch his little determined face try and figure out how to get up and then...how to get down!

So much fun now that they are mobile... It's so sad how much they beat themselves up though. We try to keep Ryder's falls and bumps to a maximum of three a day, but hey sometimes it's more!
