kenny's lunch - a pictorial
Today's lunch was quite an event. Kenny started with formula, and made his way through about five ounces before getting fussy and wanting to switch to some more solid options. Eager to accommodate, I moved him into the kitchen and placed him in his high chair. Thinking I would get a quick picture of Kenny in his new outfit, I took his bib off -- just for a moment. He, of course, took the opportunity to spit up all over his new sweatpants.
Kenny pre-solids...
Bib replaced, Kenny then consumed a full serving of rice cereal, utilizing his new routine of crying and fussing in between bites. As far as I can figure, this means he's either in a massive hurry to eat as much as possible, or he has a horrible short term memory. Think of it this way: He takes a bite of rice cereal, realizes it tastes like wall paper paste and gets upset. Then, he sees the bowl of rice cereal and thinks to himself, "Hey, that looks tasty!" And the cycle continues...
After the rice cereal, Mr. K wasn't ready to throw in the towel (or use one, really), so I opened up a container of sweet potatoes. He got all excited when he saw it, and did an excellent job of getting most of it in his mouth. The rest went all over his hands, which he then wiped anywhere else he could. This included his eyes, as he began to get sleepy, since we were nearing his nap time. I began laughing uncontrollably when he got the orange paste all over his eyebrows and forehead. When Kenny saw me laughing, he started too, and it was a minute or so before I could get things under enough control to wipe him clean.
Kenny post-potatoes
When he was done, I cleaned him up again and we headed upstairs for an overdue (and well earned) nap time. It took him all of 45 seconds to turn around a bit before passing out in soporific bliss. Pay special attention to the spit-up stain on his leg...
