baby purees

We started feeding Corban rice cereal two weeks ago so he could get used to opening his mouth and eating from a spoon. We barely started feeding him carrots and he loves them! Honestly, I'm a little disappointed that he didn't give me some grand shudder and gag from the new taste and texture, but he's a good sport and eats really good. In two more weeks we're gonna try squash. Hmmm ... that sounds a little more disgusting. Maybe I'll get the shudder and gag from that. I'll keep you posted.

On a similar note, when we feed Corban from his high chair, we say a little blessing on the food. He normally just looks at either one of us with a weird look on his face, but when we say amen, he gets a big smile on his face and squeals with delight. 

Crawling. What are the precursors to that? Do they scoot backward and eventually get on their hands and knees? Corban is doing all of that. It's always an adventure when we get him from his naps; we never know where he's gonna be in his crib! I love being a mom.
