Finger hats!

Graham's favorite way to eat raspberries... top his fingers then pop 'em in his mouth!

I love raspberries!!!

Sweet, slurpy & sour

This morning I cut up a pink grapefruit for myself. As always, Graham wanted whatever was on my plate. So I shared a slice with him, not thinking for a second that he would actually like it. His range of taste discoveries, from sweet to sour, was extremely amusing. Pictures below, then video.

Peas Please

Graham pretty much never stops moving these days. It's go, go, go all the time, whether he's feeding himself (and the floor), pushing buttons, pulling on electrical cords (a big no, no), climbing the stairs, or rocking out at "school." Our little dude is on the move.

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!
