In completely unrelated but no less cool news: The Flicker Photo Gallery plugin has been updated to use in WordPress 2.1 and I’m very excited to have my fabulously awesome photo toolbar back on my post page. Anyhow. Moving on…
So for being a “mommy blog” I sure don’t gush about my kids that much. I mean, I do from time to time, but compared to some of the mommy blogs out there, I think I’m pretty restrained. But here is one post where I am going to gush. So, you know, you’ve been warned.
Liam is seven months old tomorrow. SEVEN. This is not acceptable. While I love seeing him get bigger and exploring his world and babbling joyfully at us each night at dinner, part of me is PANICING because it’s only a matter of time before he’s not a baby anymore and then what’ll I do? I’m not ready to say good-bye to baby-dom yet. I love newborns. LOVE LOVE LOVE. Babies are awesome. This may be my most favorite of all the stages and it’s slipping through my hands like sand at the beach. I can’t stand that.
The doctor gave the go-ahead at the appointment on Friday for us to start giving him some finger foods (even though the child is STILL sans teeth) and maybe trying out a sippy cup with water in it. So on Saturday, we got some Cheerios and a couple sippy cups. And I was charmed and horrified all at the same time. I love watching the milestones but it means he’s getting older and that, as we know, is killing me.
The First of the Sippys and the Excitement of the Cheerios
The first picture I snapped in Wal-Mart with my camera phone. Because in this mobile age I could not wait until we got home to take the sippy cup out of its wrapping, put some milk in it, give it to my child, and take a picture. At least I waited until home for the Cheerios. And he’s very excited about them too. He looks very confused and possibly disgusted when we put them in his mouth (hasn’t worked out putting them in his own mouth yet) but yet he gums them and seems to enjoy the taste and experience overall. I’m excited for the finger food stage, but… Yeah, you get the picture by now.

He’s much quicker than NikkiZ - it tooks several months for her to stop either (a) spitting out or (b) swallowing whole any cheerio that touched her mouth.
