Finger Foods

Peter has come on like gang busters with the finger foods! He eats Gerber puffs, Cheerios broken in half, and peas. He LOVES to sit in his high chair and eat. Peter uses a pincer grasp to pick up his food and then either puts it in his mouth or loses it in his fist. He then chews on his closed fist trying to figure out what went wrong.

Poor baby Peter. He has seven teeth so far and they just keep coming. The latest is knocking him out. He has been whiny and uncomfortable for a couple of days. At 8.5 months old he has seven teeth, Jill got her first tooth at about that age. She was a preemie, but these are very different kids!

Yesterday Peter followed me everywhere. He'd army crawl across the floor, eyes locked on my face wanting me to pick him up. Right as Bryan left yesterday morning, Peter was crawling toward me when Jill fell down and cried. As I talked to Jill and quickly got her breakfast, Peter rested his cheek on my foot and cried. So sad!
