Gabriel is the kind of baby who doesn't believe he actually is a baby. He is sure that he can do the things that everyone else can do, like eat dinner. So, when he hit 6 months this week - the age at which the doctor gave us the OK to start solids, we thought he would be ecstatic. Boy, were we wrong. Meal times (all three of them) have been full of grunts of dissatisfaction. It didn't dawn on me that he would realize he wasn't actually eating like everyone else. But when your brother's plate is full of brightly colored food, like Cheetos, Granny Smith apples, and red grapes, the contrast between rice cereal (a.k.a. baby mush) and "real food" becomes apparent.
In this video, Gabriel's third meal, I'm trying to get him interested in his meal - which was darn near impossible since LT was sitting across from him eating an orange creamsicle. There's never a dull moment in our household!
