travel & food

Well our little monkey has been keeping us so busy we haven't had time to post!

At the beginning of March, Gregory and I traveled to Cincinnati, OH, to visit Michal and Jonathan. What a fantastic trip, but it was an adventure traveling alone with an 8 mth old. We endured some delays to say the least, and killed a lot of time in the airport. Greg kept himself entertained by practicing his crawling and pulling up on furniture. We made the best of it, and it was totally worth it for the visit - I hadn't seen Michal in almost 2 years!



We finally got a picture of all four of those new teeth!


Even though he has teeth, my impression is that Greg is not really ready for solids, but Dan seems to think that his behavioral "issues" (waking up so many times a night) are because he needs to eat food. So in spite of my reservations, I went ahead and offered him some banana. First we tried small pieces. Greg was happy to mash them up and smear them on the table, but didn't really attempt to taste any. You can see what happened to them!


So I thought there would be a better chance of mouth contact if I gave a bigger piece...

Mommy was right again! We are definitely going to just wait until he actually starts asking for food. He is growing and developing just fine as he is, so we do not need to be in a rush to push it on him.
