Mmmm... food!

Zain has been eyeing our food for a long time.  He will head toward anything food-like with mouth wide open.  The other day in the bath, I was pouring rinse water onto his chest from a cup and he was trying to drink the water. 

Whatcha got there, Mommy/crazy lady?

THIRSTY!!!

We decided since he met all the physical criteria for eating solid food (neck control, etc), that we might as well give him his wish.  So, this week he's had one tiny meal of brown rice cereal each day.  And he seems to be a fan.

What is this, exactly?

Would you eat this?

Going in!

Pretty tidy, considering

Then again....

He's a very DIY kid.  He always wants to be involved.

Finger-lickin' good!
