pears!

big news!! noah ate his first food last night!! he didn't gag, choke, throw up or cry. he opened his mouth voluntarily, he swallowed, he smiled, he made a total mess, and he finished off almost a whole (tiny) jar of pureed pears. aaron and i were in shock. it looked so funny, seeing our boy eating food! and enjoying it! this kid has not shown any desire to eat for the past few months as we've offered him different things. i was beginnning to think he'd have to come home from school at lunch time to nurse. but i think we've turned a corner now. at eight and half months, he's joined the ranks of baby eaters. hooray! (but now does life get more complicated?)
