Lightly Steamed Carrots and Cucumbers...Mmm...

Today was a big day.  I had my first real food.  No mushy baby food for me.  I eat what Mom and Dad eat.  Well, I will eventually eat what they eat.  Now, I just play with it to get used to the textures and favors.  When I am ready, I will start to eat the food (maybe when I have teeth, maybe earlier).  Once I start eating (and not just playing), I'll still drink most of calories.  But then I'll move to nothing but food - when I'm ready.  No one'll pressure me with mushy stuff on a spoon.

Below is a mashup (no pun intended) of my first forray with real food - lightly steamed carrots and cucumbers.  I did gum down some of the cucumber insides.  Dad said there were flakes of steamed carrots all over the place too.

Later in the day, I gummed some apple slices with Mom, Grandma H (via skype), and Dad (taking photo).  As you can see in the photo, mom is holding one of the slices, while I put another in my mouth.  Grandma did not have any apples.  I tried to put some in the CD drive and email it to her.  But, it never arrived.  Dang Gmail.
Tomorrow Mom and I are going to the grocery store.  We're going to get some new foods for me to play with.  Looking forward to trying broccoli; Dad loves it.  I'll let you know what I think.

Peace Out,
