Teething . . .

We were so excited when the Dr. told us it would be OK to give Ethan teething biscuits (the box says 10 months and older so we weren't sure . . .). He is at the stage where everything goes in the mouth and we figured he would love these. We also hoped they would offer some relief for his sore gums.
Ironically, after one little nibble, he decided he did NOT want to put this in his mouth and instead wanted to bang it as hard as he could on his high chair tray . . .
Oh well . . . We also were excited to get the go-ahead with cheerios and other small finger foods that will melt in his mouth . . . this has not been going well either, and mom and dad are scared to death that he is going to choke. I think we'll stay with the pureed foods for awhile longer.

I spent some time in the kitchen last night making him some homemade baby food. Today will be the test to see if Ethan approves . . .I steamed and blended vegetables and put them in ice cube trays. I figured it to be a savings of about $10 just from last night's project.


We had lunch with mom's friend and coworker Brad yesterday - How nice of him to let Ethan borrow his hat!
