Tell Me More About This Thing You Call Food

2011-07-31

Hi everyone! I'm still learning how to eat, so if last week's pictures grossed you out, maybe give this week a miss.

Most of the week was pretty normal - we stayed home, ate, slept, read about my friend Winnie-the-Pooh, read about the City of Ember, and woke up Mommy and Daddy in the middle of the night a few times. You know, good clean fun.

Daddy playing with the bottle. Mommy grabbed the camera because I was laughing, but I stopped as soon as she turned it on. Ha ha.

On Thursday, I went with Daddy to do some visiting. First, we went to Great-grandma Dorothy's house.

Then we went to Grandpa Al and Grandma Wynne's to see Great-grandma Darlene, Auntie Jenn, and Max.

Auntie Jenn has me now.

On Friday, Grandma Wynne brought me a new contraption when she came to stay with us.

My new contraption - I got to big for the swing Jim and Betty let Mommy and Daddy borrow for me to use.

Fair warning: Eating pictures ahead!

I'm ready! Let's do this!

Oh, bother. Pooh Bear showed up unannounced for lunch. How like him. Silly old bear.

I've got my fancy bib on - where's the food?

Mommy, my readers don't want you to take pictures of my boogies.

Yeeech! Carrots?! Again?!

Mommy and Daddy let Grandma Wynne do the dirty work.

Look at this face. Does this look like a face that likes carrots? Hmmm? Does it?

Mommy and Daddy gave feeding me a try again on Sunday.

Gimme that spoon. I can do this myself.

Or not.

Hey, it's not carrots! Get in my belly!

Mommy and Daddy are hoping babies can absorb food through their skin.

Despite what the pictures show, I did get some of that food in my tummy. I still prefer the bottle, though.

That's all for this week. Take care!
