Starts with Squash, Ends with Mush

I finally made it to the store to pick up some jars of baby food for Carter on Saturday night in preparation for his desire to grow up too fast momentous taste of something other than the same ol' (breast)milk.

Here is the little man after his first bite of butternut squash on Sunday. He had me a little worried at first with this lovely face you see to the right.

Eventually, he was grabbing my hand and pulling the spoon to his mouth.

Once it had become apparent he was done with his dinner, I gave him a little dessert. Yes, it was a biter biscuit. Yes, the box recommends 10 months. AND...Yes, he's supposed to be sitting up before he gets to have them. But what else can a boy with teeth hold and eat all by himself?

He's so independent already! He did absolutely great!! What a mess he was when all was said and done. He had biscuit mush all over his head and hands. I was so proud of how well he was able to take down that treat all by himself.
