Pictures!

I just can't get enough of the baby/kitty snuggles. I rarely get to actually get pictures of it though as it usually happens in my lap. Such sweetness!

 These pictures were after Daddy decided to let the baby play with his "empty" coffee cup.  He had a blast playing with the lid and he's got an early start at wearing his morning coffee.  :)

He seems to enjoy having all of his toys together in the basket so he can dig through them for his favorites and then eventually dump them all on the floor.  I think it's so cute watching him search and shuffle through them all.

 The baby led weaning has been fun.  This apple slice was his first positive encounter, he actually nibbled and chewed a bit, though I really don't think he swallowed any.  He also tasted a slice of onion the other day.  He reacted more positively than I expected.  He simply put it in his mouth, licked it, then looked at it, and finally dropped it on the floor.  We've tasted broccoli, banana, carrot, apple and onion now.

Sharing

Well, now that we've left Portland it seems more and more necessary to record Peter's progress in a way that we can share with the family (probably should have started earlier with some family across the country, sorry Kelly I know you asked for pics a long time ago!) but I can't start before now.

Yesterday I learned about Baby Led Weaning and as Peter turned 6 months old this last week it seems like a great time to start and we're gonna give it a go tonight. I'm excited. I really don't know if he'll eat anything or not but since absolutely everything he touches goes in his mouth anyway, I think he'll have fun with something that doesn't taste of either cardboard or plastic.

In fact, as he's happily chewing on his old rattle right now, I think it might be time. We'll take lots of pics and maybe some video. :)
