Cereal yes, Carrots...maybe?

We have been giving little man cereal for two weeks or so now and he is really seeming to like it. At first he wasn't sure what to think, but now he is at the point where he opens his mouth for more. Yesterday was the first day he had carrots and I am not really sure what he thinks. He didn't eat as much of the carrots as he eats of the cereal, but the carrots smell a lot stronger than the cereal so I can imagine it must taste a lot different too. I really wanted to try the fruits first because when I was little I loved fruits. The funny thing is that I remember when my little brother was eating baby food and I would have my mom give me some of the jarred pears. (I was almost 4 or maybe a little over 4 and I wanted baby food.) I was a mature baby :) Anyway, I'm going to hold off on giving him the fruits until he has tried all the different vegetables I got for him. If he likes green beans I think I will be grossed out. Maybe so grossed out that Alex will have to feed those to him.

It's really kind of exciting getting to try different things food wise. I was a little worried he wouldn't like the cereal when he first tried it, but now that he's used to it and allowed to have fruits and veggies it puts my mind at ease because if he doesn't like some of the veggies, there are always more I can try. I think next I will try sweet potato and then I will move on to the peas and green beans.

I will have to take photos each time he eats a different food so everyone can see the mess he makes. Yesterday, I used my camera and shot a video of his first few bits of carrots. It's probably a minute or two long and it makes me laugh; He makes some of the funniest faces :) The cutest thing he does when he is sitting in his little chair is when the dogs catch his eye, he will stop eating and smile at them. It seems like he smiles more at Lucas, but that is because Lucas is way more interested in him than little miss independent, Beyla.

I am also excited for his first Christmas, which is coming up soon! I can't believe that it is in a week! I know he is getting a walker from his Aunt Katie and Uncle Rob. I cannot wait to see him in it! It's all really exciting for me. Probably more so for me than anyone else, but what can I say, babies are fun.

AND on a completely different note:
I am finally back to my pre-pregnancy weight! :) And although I still need to tone up and get all that lost muscle back, it still feels pretty darn good!
