First Foods

So, usually when you first introduce solid foods to your baby, you pull your camera out, and start with something like mashed bananas, or rice cereal.  It is a milestone to be documented.  Well, by the time you have your fifth baby, sometimes it doesn't always work that way!  To be fair, I have tried mashed bananas with Ammon before, and he didn't care for them.  So, at 7 1/2 months old, he really hasn't started on anything solid.  This morning I was trying to catch up on some laundry after the holidays, and Rob was talking to the school for Spring semester.  Ammon was sitting in his high chair, which is where I had put him while I ate my breakfast, and had then left him when I started on laundry because he was happy.  A few minutes into my laundry, he started acting a little fussy, so I asked Isaac to help him.  Usually that means that they find him one of his baby toys to play with.  He stopped whining, so I assumed all was well.  A few minutes later when I was done changing the laundry, I walked into the kitchen to find this!

"Look mom, I have a mustache!"

Who needs a bib?

"I would have eaten solids sooner if I knew they could taste like this!"

Apparently when I asked Isaac to help him, Isaac thought that Ammon needed a chocolate covered marshmellow grahm cracker!  Thankfully, Ammon didn't actually try to bite the thing, and pretty much just licked all the chocolate off the cracker!  It wasn't really what I had in mind as an introduction to solids, but again, I guess after 5 kids, things don't always go the way you'd like them too!

I know I am way behind on posting any kind of events from the last few months, such as my big 3-0 birthday, and all the holidays, but I will be doing a big post covering all this real soon, like before next Monday when school starts again!
