Who knew rice cereal would be so delicious? Originally, Xavier was not all that interested, but in recent weeks he has really seemed to enjoy his evening meal. He now gets excited when he sees his bowl and spoon...we think he knows that it is his mealtime. In these pictures you can sort of tell that he is leaning toward the spoon for more, but we have also shot a few short videos of him eating this week. We took the advice of a friend, Liz (mom to Matthew, almost 3, and Madeleine, 5 1/2 months) and added sweet potatoes to his diet this week, which he really seems to like.
He has also started trying to help with meals. He usually uses his hands to get the spoon to his mouth faster...hmmm sounds like he is going to eat like an Anello - FAST. We try to discourage his help with the feedings because, of course, the cereal inevitably ends up on his feet, his high chair, his hair, his mother's hair...essentially everywhere. We will try to figure out how to get these videos on the blog, with the help of Pippi's mom, Marna. We thought Pippi's mom was a master at this craft until she told us that actually Daisy's mom was the real master. Check out Pippi's blog at http://pippiwhite.blogspot.com and her shopping pal, Daisy, at http://hcoleman.blogspot.com - love the sweaters, girls. We'll figure it out eventually.
One final picture...for tonight. This is one of Xavier's many outfits sent from his aunt and cousins in Bali. They were sent when he was tiny and we recently discovered that these one-piece rompers now fit perfectly and are very comfy. He has three!! Thanks again, aunt Nancy, Putu and Sam!! We know the hat doesn't exactly match, but it may not fit his big head for long, so he should wear it any opportunity he can.
