Adventures in baby food

Boston has a love/hate relationship with baby food. Some days/flavors are better than others. Being the responsible mother that I am, I try to push the vegetables, so that he won't become a spoiled brat and demand I serve him only fruit. Yesterday I gave up. This child won't take a bottle, and I am suffering from panic attacks at the thought of him never overcoming this, and wanting to breastfeed well into his toddler-hood. So, I found myself offering him peaches yesterday. And... WA LA. He loves them.
Like, really, really, "give me that spoon full of gooey orange goodness" loves them.
and don't you dare take it away from me. Or else!
Afer a consuming more baby food in one sitting than he has had in his whole life combined, and after licking it all off his hands and arms (whilst giving me the finger) it was time for a bath.

And this my friends, is a day in the life of a young mother of a picky eater.

Eric and I were looking at your blog the other night and eric just couldn't believe how cute Boston is...he thinks Boston is a perfect mix of both you and John! I see different pictures of him and I can see you in some and john in others. He is absolutely adorable!

Love the finger...he's only a baby and he's already throwing up gang signs and the finger...you are gonna be in trouble when that boy reaches high school.
That pictures so cute of him bathing in the sink! He is almost too big to even fit in there!

Oh nice work Boston! Looks like I won't need to teach him tricky stuff behind your back, he's a natural!

Cute blog yourself! I love the sink picture. Boston is so cute! I hardly ever see him, and I can't believe how big he is already.
