It's the weekend

Bruiser

Louis got his first little bruise. Bummer, right? Now that he's crawling, he's into everything and just motors around everywhere. As the evening's dwindle on and he get's more tired, his agility lessens and he gets a little wobbly. Monday evening right before bedtime he was crawling towards me (probably to tell me he was tired and wanted held and rocked to sleep) as I stood at the sink washing bottles well he toppled over and bumped his forehead on the hard tile floor giving himself a little bruise.

Ready for table foods?

Louis has a healthy appetite. He eats anywhere from one to three jars of Gerber second foods for dinner. I've tried introducing the third foods which are slightly chunkier and are larger portions however he doesn't seem to like the texture. I'm a little puzzled as he eats lumpy oatmeal and is beginning to eat those melt in your mouth sweet potato puffs. I read somewhere recently that some kids perfer that the consistency of all the food be the same so where all lumpy oatmeal is okay smooth pureed third foods with a surprise lump every now and again turns kids off.

I think I just may try making him a sweet potato myself or a banana both of which I can easily smash up with a fork and see if he goes for it. Either way I'm sure he'll eventually come around.
