Mmmm.....Food!

Mason was recently introduced to real food! Here he is taking his first bites of rice cereal. He was so excited....

....he was practically leaping out of his chair, mouth open wide, attacking the spoon! The fact that he is taking to solids so easily is a huge blessing and almost makes up for the fact that he's been a monstrous challenge to nurse. He loves food, as long as it comes easily.

I want more!
This is even after his normal amount of milk, and I was worried he wouldn't be hungry enough to try new food. But he ate it all! Typical Duran boy......an opportunistic eater. If there's food, you'd better eat it!

This is the 2nd time feeding Mason cereal, and I wanted pictures of Marcos feeding him. Notice the 1st feeding Mason is wearing clothes (rookie mistake) and the 2nd feeding he's wearing just a bib (and diaper). We sure learned fast!....

......the extent of the mess each feeding makes is truly surprising. I'm slowly learning to accept that my baby boy will never stay clean. Ever. Smelling good? Forget about it. I'm coming to grips with the fact that he'll always smell a little sour, feel a little sticky, and be a whole lotta cute.
