Cheerio, Mate!

Hooray for Oliver! He's finally eating real food! Here are his first attempts and successes at eating a really solid food - Cheerios - and oh how happy he is! It's as if he's been waiting the whole of his six and one half months to finally get his own little mitts on something substantial. He shovels them in with his little rake fists ten at a time and chew, chew, cheeeews them up (with his TWO mini puppy teeth!) Proud boy! Proud Momma! What a relief! "Oh, yes? For me? Why, Thank you!"
"If I use two hands . . . I can get more in!! ALRIGHT!""Look, Mom! No hands!"
"Hooray for me!" (oh yeah, and he got some green beans too! Does it get any better than this??)
