The adventures into the world of eating have been fun. Right now, Alexander is eating rice cereal once a day. The doctor suggested we do this for a few weeks until he gets the hang of it. I’m not sure how to define “the hang of it”… but I don’t think we are quite there yet.
Here is Alexander sporting a fabulous cereal goatee – a very hot look for babies this season.
Don’t let the smile fool you. He really doesn’t care much for cereal. Watch this video to see how the cereal goatee look is achieved.
**VIDEO HOPEFULLY COMING SOON**
(stupid blogger website)
He is getting better at eating cereal, though. With the first spoonful, he still makes that face that says "my god this tastes like dirty socks" but by the third or fourth bite his face softens and says "this tastes like clean socks." Just last night he decided he was ready to take over the spoon holding. Both Alexander and his bib... and his pants... had an enjoyable meal.
In other baby milestones, Alexander has added “hi” to his vocabulary. In fact, he said it four times on Saturday. Of his vocabulary words, he only really seems to know what 'mama' means because he cries "mama mama mama" when I am away for too long. *open heart, insert ache*
In other baby accomplishments, all of his crunches and calisthenics have finally paid off. This weekend he started sitting on his own. OK, so he only sits for about 10 seconds before keeling over… but high fives all around anyway.
I don’t know if this is really an accomplishment, but it is a new thing that Alexander likes to do. He likes to chomp his gums – sort of like a cow chewing cud, but without the cud. Or the teeth. Or the cow. Anyway, this video demonstrates this new pastime. (You have to wait a few seconds for him to start chomping...)

Hmm, cereal goatee reminds me of Uncle Dave, who has the philosophy that it's not a real meal unless you're wearing part of it.
