Squash, eww!

Today was another big day for Gabriel. We tortured him with his first vegetable...but rewarded him with a new toy! Aren't we great parents ;-) Gabriel appetite has gotten bigger and bigger and he sits up quite well in his Bumbo so with the approval of our pediatrician we embarked on the solid food journey. It wasn't quite as messy as I thought but it definitely showed me what lies ahead. He definitely needs to work on mastering the tongue thrust. I am not sure if it was the taste that made him reject his squash or just not knowing what to do with it. He made some pretty funny faces either way. BEFORE THE FUN BEGAN... THE FIRST BITE "THAT'S NOT MILK!" "ENOUGH!" After a nap and recovering from the squash trauma we decided to see if he was big enough for his Baby Einstein chair (thanks Poux and Sheryl)...and he is!He loved it from the moment we put him in it. His legs are just barely long enough from him to stand a little, which he loves! So far his favorite toy is what I call the baby slot machine. He wore himself out in it! Looks like I found a new babysitter ;-)
