Lots of Firsts!

Lots of "firsts" happened this week. With the suggestion from our Pediatrician, we introduced Ryan to a sippy cup. One of my friends recommended that I get one with a rubber top so he can chew on it. I am thinking to myself, "Why would he chew on the top if it's a sippy cup"? Well, that's exactly what he's been doing. He just chews the top and is pleasantly surprised if he gets a few drips of water in his mouth.






Ryan also had his first taste of vegetables this week. We started him off with carrots and will eventually offer him squash, sweet potatoes and green beans in the next few weeks. Here he is trying his first bite of carrot (specially steamed and pureed by his mom). Of course, he also wanted to wish everyone a HAPPY NEW YEAR by wearing his festive hat while dining. . .
