So far we have fed Taylor avacadoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, and bananas. We fed him bananas today for the first time, and he LOVED them! He repeatedly spit out all of the other foods, but bananas he was able to keep in his mouth. In fact, bananas are the first food that he opened his mouth for and was excited to eat. Here are some messy, but cute pics.

Taylor's first cereal

On Saturday morning, Dave finished assembling Taylor's high chair while I prepared his first cereal. Taylor did really well in the highchair. I think he may have been a bit confused as to why it didn't move like all of the other things that we strap him into. We were really amazed at how well he opened his mouth for the spoon and that he actually ate the cereal. Ultimately though, he really just wanted to lick the spoon and play with it. He did manage to get down a good four spoonfuls before we started to see the grimacing expressions. We were very pleased at his first "real food" experience, and are looking forward to introducing him to an avocado and sweet potato very soon!

Are we getting ready to cut some teeth?

Taylor is drooling everywhere! Is this a sign of teeth to come? He is still in love with his toes, and on a really good day he will bounce and bounce in his jumpy seat. Baxter even gets a kick out of it when he bounces in it. It is a prime finger and toe licking spot for him!

Laughing Baby

We captured this video of Taylor the other day laughing hysterically at a rattle. It's pretty funny. Take a look.

Hello toes!

Taylor has changed so much recently. He just found his toes the other day, and they are his new favorite thing (well, other than his thumb and his frog that makes noise). He is also trying to sit up more on his own, and he is diligent about grabbing things that are within his reach. Another first is his fascination with Baxter. He never really paid much attention to Baxter, but recently when Baxter comes to lick his toes, he laughs (or actually lets out this elated shriek). It is so loud that Baxter is somewhat scared to approach Taylor now. He used to jump and lick all over him. Now, he keeps his distance until we call him over and let him know that things are okay. Here are a few pictures of these milestones.
