Big Day for Baby Elliott

Guess who is eating food now!  Little Elliott had his first taste of Rice cereal with us at dinner last night.  (I decided to try Earth's Best Organic, since there are no genetically engineered ingredients)

Let me tell you - this child was ready to eat!  He has been studying us using our utensils for weeks, and lately has been timing his own arm movements to act like he's putting something into his mouth at the same time we put our food into our mouths.

So it was no surprise last night when he started eating from the baby spoon almost immediately.  He loved it, and by the third spoonful was actually trying to take the spoon from me and put into his own mouth! 
Mom, I'm a pro already!

 The rest of the meal was quite messy as every time I put the spoon close to him he'd raise his fist to his mouth, knocking the spoon and the cereal everywhere in the process.  But boy, was he HAPPY!

When's the next meal??
