Get Your Eat On!

There's a saying around our house that we picked up from the Boy Scouts (because 12 year old boys are all about food): Get your eat on.  You "get your eat on" when you're really hungry and ready to pig out. 

This weekend it was time for Jack to get his eat on with some yummy rice cereal for the first time.  At first, he wasn't too sure about it . . .

But we kept at it . . .

And before you know it, he decided cereal is pretty good!

In another "big boy" moment, we got our first pair of shoes this weekend! Yes, heretofore my child has been a shoeless ragamuffin out in public. Never fear, his feet spent the winter well covered in socks and footed sleepers (mainly because it was easier, but in no small part because of all the lists of things to buy for baby that I read while pregnant, not one mentioned anything about shoes. Oops!). Now that it's too hot for those, though, we had to get some real footwear.  Thanks for being our personal shopper, GeeGee!

I can't believe all the "big boy" moments we're having lately! 18 weeks old is so fun!
