Food!

Until last week Anna has been wonderful towards Oliver, but only somewhat interested in his activities. Last week this changed -- Oliver ate his first food -- and Anna realized that Oliver has amazing potential. Over the past several days Oliver (and Anna) have sampled barley cereal, pears, applesauce, carrots, avocados and sweet potatoes. Thus far his favorite seems to be pears.

Here are some pictures of his first taste of food.

Oliver hates being strapped down (he prefers to be bouncing) and therefore was a bit skeptical when we put him in his high chair.


A tentative taste of pears and he began to warm up to the high chair.

He soon commandeered the spoon,


And became a very happy (messy) baby.


Anna is hoping that Oliver's next food is bacon, or even a roast beef.
