Babies Sherwood

The kids and I hung out Sunday morning while Rebecca ran some errands. Ron got hungry while she was gone, so I fed him, and was stalling until she could get home. He recently started eating Cheerios, but you had to put them in his mouth for him. He would try, and just not quite get there.

So while we were waiting, I gave him some Cheerios, and let him try to grab them. He did! Then he got them in his mouth! With a little practice, he was able to do quite well at his new skill.

Jane, his ever helpful sister, decided that she wanted to feed Ron too, and he was happy for the assistance.

You make the call.

Can you tell Jane loves her little brother?  She wasn’t really trying to tackle him, but it kinda looks like it in the picture.  And he loved every minute of it!  In fact, Jane is the best at making Ron giggle and laugh.  All she has to do is jump around and act like her usual happy self, and Ron will giggle like crazy.  Which is fun and all, and (so far) awfully hard to punish when they are supposed to be napping at the same time.

So we had broccoli for dinner tonight.  And by we, I mean we all did.  Including Ron.  He wasn’t quite sure what to make of it, but we never saw any come out of his mouth.  Soft cooked is as good as pureed, right?

Jane had some lemon on her broccoli.  Or maybe it was more that she played with a lemon until she was ready to eat her broccoli.  Either way, she ate the broccoli and enjoyed the lemon.  She was also very nice and shared her fresh lemon juice with us.
