Eatin' like a horse.

About a month ago I was spoon feeding Matthew directly from a baby food jar (yup, they all say specifically on them to not do that :) ) for dinner. I couldn't understand why he was so grumpy, since he was obviously hungry.

Philip says, "That's because he wants YOUR dinner."

So ever since then he's been chowing down our food, with a few exceptions--raw carrots and other too-many-teeth-required food. Also nuts and a few other allergy prone foods that the docs advice keeping away for a while yet. It's so much funner eating yourself, and making a mess of it!



He's also drinking from a cup mostly now too, except his "bedtime snack". Yay! I'm feeling less like a cow and more like a person again. A while ago myself and two other moms were feeding our babies at church and some guy came along and said

"Looks a like dairy farm with all the cows lined up!"

GOOD THING I had a baby in my arms and not something hard and small that I could peg at him. Good thing for HIM anyways.

Haha - I would have loved to see your face when that guy said that! But congratulations on not feeling like a bovine anymore. My husband has finally stopped mooing at me recently!
