levi eats cereal

Are you ready for your first bite of food Mr. Levi?
Levi thought he was pretty big stuff sitting up in the highchair.

I thought he would love cereal.

But he wasn't so sure.
Probably because it didn't taste like that ice cream 
his daddy gave him a few weeks ago.
I would be disappointed too buddy. 

And then he started fighting his daddy for the spoon.

He didn't care so much about the cereal part.


We tried again.

And even managed to get a little in his mouth.

But really he still just wanted the spoon.

We took it away from him and he wasn't very happy.

So, like good parents, we gave him what he wanted.

And then he decided he wanted the bowl too.

Levi's been eating cereal and trying a few veggies for about three weeks now.
He actually is a really good eater.
Are you surprised?

But he is very easily distracted.
He wants to hold and touch everything around him.
And he is so wiggly.
I don't think I need to worry about him getting enough to eat though.
When the first thing people say to him is,
"Wow, you are a good eater!"
or 
"Your mama must feed you well."
I think he is doing just fine!

I think I've mentioned before my son (1 mo younger than Levi) gets those comments too (he's in teh 84%) oh, people! seriously, they need to leave *babies* alone and keep their skinny-minded words to themselves! Your boy is so precious and perfect as is!

I'm looking forward to Peter eating solids soon. Lord knows I'm hoping it'll get him sleeping a bit longer at night!!
blessings,

I have to second Beki on the blog! My boys loved the spoon more than the food too. Except, I made the mistake of giving Andrew (my oldest) the bowl. He was so cute and really wanted it. Man, was that a lesson learned!

Levi reminds me of my first born...he weighed 31.9 lbs. at a year old. Now he's 8 and weighs 92lbs. and is tall for his age. No more baby fat. ;( Levi is absolutely precious!! I still pray for you all!

Those pictures are great! He is a little hunk of love, isn't he?! I had a couple of round little babies too and I loved it!

I remember it taking me about an hour to feed one of my younger kids (can't remember who now) because they would not focus!!!

He is precious!

What a little chub butt! I love roly poly babies. He is so cute. Just looking at the pictures makes you want to give him kisses on those chunky jaws. Little Levi looks like a happy baby - except for plane rides : )
