Mr. Piggy

This past week Isaac has suddenly gone from "tasting and spitting out" to "gobbling down and can't get enough of" his food.  This was a rather surprising turnaround given that Mommy had heard from other BLW (Baby Led Weaning) moms that their babies didn't actually start eating/swallowing the solid foods until about 11 months.  Isaac has tried lots of different foods in the past month: green beans, Greek yogurt, steamed shrimp, avocado, pasta, chicken, broccoli, apples, eggs, meatloaf, sweet potatoes, and cheese. Almost anything Mommy & Daddy have, Isaac has gotten to try. But his favorites seem to be bread and pineapple. He really can't get enough of those two things in particular.

In general, Isaac has been a fast learner with everything at meal time.  He seems to understand that getting in his highchair and wearing a bib means food is coming (as the dogs have quickly learned to stay close by when Isaac is taken out of the highchair as they get all of the missed bits wiped to the floor).  The first time Mommy tried spoon-feeding Isaac some yogurt, he snatched the spoon from her and fed himself.  When Mommy gave Isaac a sippy cup of water he mastered that almost right away too. 

Isaac had quite a busy social calendar last week too.  Last Wednesday we went to Jodi's and got to see Jarrett and also godmother Amanda.  

future dentist?

He also spent some time at Sandy's and she got a great picture of Isaac and Declan together.  We couldn't believe the resemblance when we saw them side-by-side!

Then on Friday on our way to a playdate with Leela and JR we stopped at Great Kids Farms where Daddy was on a field trip with a few of his students. He was really happy to see us. 

Isaac had a great time visiting with great Grandma on Monday.

Isaac ran errands with Mommy, but instead of using the Ergo baby carrier like we usually do, we tried out our cart cover.  Isaac really seemed to enjoy the new perspective. Although, with his new front row seat he seemed to feel more entitled to helping himself to Mommy's samples at Costco!

And of course there was some R&R throughout the week as always.  From hammock time, to playing outside in the backyard, to zonking out on the couch cuddled up with Allie, to selfies with Mom,  Isaac has been just as sweet and happy as ever.
