solids, spoons, smiles, sea and story

this is one of those posts where the photos say it all and i should just not even try to narrate but i just wanted to add that story has only had breast milk for 6 months and he was born 9 lbs 3 oz and is in the 98th percentile in length so i was advised to start him on solids even though i didn't feel ready...you can see he is more than ready and literally feeding himself with a spoon the first time he ate solids! he is also teething quite a bit as you'll be able to tell in the photo with the corn on the cob. his sister is super excited that he gets to eat at the table with us now and i think it will be great having her help feed him although he really enjoys doing it himself...
