We got the go ahead to start feeding Jack solid foods at his last check-up. (BTW, he’s 80% for weight at 16 pounds, 11 ounces. He’s off the charts for height at 28 1/4 inches. That matches the 99% for a SIX month old.)
Despite our spoon being too big, he seemed to enjoy it. Unsure at first of what to do with this sludgy, tasteless stuff we were putting in his mouth, he looked very confused. But soon he figured out it was fun to play with in his mouth and having me repeatedly put a spoon to his mouth was SUPER fun. He started grabbing my hand and pulling it in. I think he ate just 2 teaspoons of rice cereal. Oh well, that’s not the point. We’ll get a smaller spoon and keep practicing for fun.

And there’s a few more posted on flickr. To congratulate him on this momentous step forward, Ben handed his shiny new TI-83 to Jack. Ben had to get one for his math class and Jack has been lusting after its buttons.

Sniff, my little boy is growing up too fast! First rice cereal and now graphing linear equations!

BEWARE the diaper!
You are well on your way to making him a super nerd. Good Job!
