Finn Firsts

Finn has just been growing and changing like crazy these past few weeks.  I feel like one day he would be on his tummy and just be stuck there, and then all of a sudden he could move! Here are some videos. Poor fellow, even when he doesn't have a mean mom moving his toys just out of his reach he still has to chase them all over. He will get within reach of his toy and then accidentally push it away when he reaches his hands for it.

Shortly after he turned five months we let him have his first "real food". He had been swiping at our food for awhile if we held him while we ate, and seemed pretty eager to start attempting it himself. He got some mashed up avocado and, while his faces would suggest otherwise, he seemed to like it. At least, he kept coming back for more, and by the end was grabbing the spoon to help shove it in his mouth.

We had to laugh when he started nomming the bits that had gotten on his foot.

And, of course, T and Nora wanted in on the action too.

He will usually get a little bit of baby cereal or some avocado or banana about once a day now. Or every other day. He is probably not actually ingesting a whole lot of it, but he sure enjoys practicing.
