peas

We started Elliot on solid food (well, mushy food) after Christmas. First we tried rice cereal, which he sometimes likes. This weekend I had planned on starting avocado, but I didn't get to the grocery store. So instead we tried strained peas.

Eating is loads of fun. At least if you don't have to clean up after yourself.

Elliot can also now sit up by himself. That is, he can stay seated if someone puts him in that position. Around New Years he was able to sit with a bit of support, then a week later he could sit if at least one hand was on the ground. And now he can wave both hands around, grab objects (preferably his socks) and stick them in his mouth.

Are his eyes really gray, or that just the lighting?

You've got to get him some green food coloring for his Mohawk. He may not get this opportunity again.

And speaking of green food, why don't you feed him in the backyard and hose everything down at the end?

This is one happy baby who loves life and his food.

He does look as if he enjoys life, even if he doesn't actually *eat* peas.
