Squash eater  

Posted by Misty

Gavin's favorite vegetable is squash. I can't believe
how much he likes it. He gobbles it down like it is
candy. Here he is on the couch eating his bowl of squash.

Ready to eat

Owen thinks that he should be able to eat food too when we eat dinner. He has to sit on someones lap at dinner time or he will just cry the entire time we eat. He tries so hard to grab food off everyone's plate. Gavin likes to share his food and sometimes I will catch Owen with food in his mouth. Owen does get to eat baby cereal though and loves it. Soon we will try baby food and before we know it he will be eating at the dinner table along with the rest of the family. They grow up so fast.

I've been trying to teach Gavin how to eat with a spoon on his own lately. The other day I made mush and I was trying to help him eat with his spoon. Gavin did not want me to help or even touch the spoon. He was so frustrated that he couldn't do it on his own but was determined to do so. I had to leave the room to tend to Owen, but when I came back, Gavin had the bowl in his hand slurping the mush down. I can just imagine him saying in his little head, "Forget the spoon! It's easier eating straight from the bowl." Surprisingly he ate most of the mush and didn't make too big of a mess.

Owen is getting stronger day by day. He is now supporting himself in a sitting position. I was able to snap a picture of his first time doing this. Owen loves to bounce and move all over the place. It's hard to hold him because he will not hold still. He doesn't stay on his back long if I set him down because he instantly rolls over to his tummy. He always has to be moving and loves all the attention he can get.
