The Daddy Diaries: Adventures in Solid Foods

Kai has turned into a champion eater and explorer of all things edible. It seems that he'll eat just about anything, as evidenced by the raw onion he grabbed and sucked on while Lauren was making dinner the other night. When Lauren took it away, he got upset and reached for more. Some of the more run-of-the-mill foods he's tried so far are: avocado, carrot, quinoa, zucchini, oatmeal, sweet potato, rice pasta, banana, watermelon, spinach, lentils, and blueberries. It's hard to decide which foods make the biggest mess, but I'd say that sweet potato and watermelon are right up at the top of that list. He needed a bath immediately following both of the meals pictured below....

Ha!!! I was there for some of the mess, and this still cracks me up! The best part of feeding solids is when Kai bangs his fist down on his high chair tray with a stern look on his face to demand more. We are attempting to teach him the sign for "more" but so far he is content with the one he has made up!

Audrey likes to eat lemons and limes. Makes you wonder if their taste buds are not as sensitive to some flavors as an adults'? Or maybe we just get pickier with age.

I love Kai's don't-bother-me-I'm-eating face.
