It's fun to watch our Little Guy keep growin and growin. It seems like before you even realize it he's almost an entirely new baby as he continues to progress through the stages of development. For instance, we've been noticing subtle clues that he might be ready to move on and start into his first foods. This is a big step in a baby's life and we wanted this to be a special experience for Connor. We feel that it's important for him to start recognizing and building his autonomy. We would hate to shackle him down with our own biased thoughts and beliefs. Not for our Little Man, for him the sky is the limit. As such, we decided to let him choose how he wanted to move forward. Most babies progress with some rice cereal (yuck!) on to bland oatmeal (eww!) only to end up with nasty strained veggies (why?). We encouraged Little Man to think outside the box and to take life by the horns and go for the gusto. As parents, we couldn't be more proud of his decision!!
"You mean you're really gonna let me decide???"
"I choose the sweet nectar of the heavens.... Mountain Dew!"
"Oh, I'm so excited, I can hardly wait. I see mommy drinking these every day and now after 6 long and grueling months my opportunity has finally arrived."
"Indeed, (gulp) how sweet it is (gulp)!"
