Yo! I'm 8 months old!

And the adventures in food continue. I'm a pro at downing applesauce, but my new favorite thing to gnaw at with my two tiny teeth is mom or dad's apple. That cool fruit feels so good on my gums and tastes good, too. An apple is the best teething toy ever!



One of the best tips we've read about feeding a baby involves clean-up. Graham hates having his hands wiped. So instead we put a bowl of water in front of him. He splashes his hands in it and thinks it's the most fun ever. We're happy because it cleans off caked-on spinach, oatmeal and whatever else is crusted between his fingers. It works brilliantly. Watch the video below and see for yourself!

what a great idea! i just rinse zach's hands in the running faucet, which he seems to enjoy, or at least tolerate, but this looks like great fun. we're going to try it today!
