Joseph's First Whole Food

For quite some time the guys have been eyeing our food and, more recently, lunging for it. As in throwing their whole bodies toward whatever's in our hands as if their very lives depended on getting hold of it. It makes for an interesting time when I'm starving and have to fight to keep my grip on a squirmy child or two.

In this case, I decided to satisfy Joseph's curiosity. I wish Greg had been there to capture the first few bites because it was hilarious. I broke off a piece of pear and offered it up. Joseph took that little bite into his mouth and wrinkled up his little nose. I'm sure the texture took him by surprise. Then he started gumming it. Finally he swallowed and looked up at me with the biggest grin. He was so proud of himself. It was precious.

Greg caught the rest here:




He didn't choke. Don't worry.


The guys are 7 months and 5 days old.
