big news!

i'm finally eating! mama and papa just didn't realize that i hate those mushy purees they were trying to feed me. plus i didn't like them sticking that darn spoon in my mouth. i'm a big boy and i can feed myself. some of the things i've tried in the last few days are: bread, broccoli, apples, mandarin oranges, bread, grits, romanesco, cheese biscuits, bread, carrots, pierogies, fig newmans, bread, chicken, avocado, bread, turkey, kielbasa, bread, fish, hummus, pancakes, tortillas, bread, cheese, indian dosas, a lemon, and more bread. mostly i lick things many many times and then once i've determined that they're edible, i bite off pieces and start to chew. i'm a pretty good chewer. if i don't like something i vehemently throw it on the floor. as you can see from the list above, my favorite food is bread. mama decided she should puree up vegetables and spread them on bread and then i might eat more of them. it remains to be seen if she can fool me like that. here are some pictures and videos of all my food adventures.

look at this spread!
