First Solids

The face of anticipation
For a couple of weeks, Dustinn & I have been trying to coordinate a time when 1.Dustinn is not at work & 2.Bradshaw is awake, so that we could give Bradshaw his first taste of food.
Last night, Dustinn called from work and, making a big fatherly sacrifice, told us to go ahead without him (he ended up getting home at 2:30am and was out the door this morning at 6...we miss him.)
Bradshaw LOVED rice cereal. And he was actually a very clean eater. He didn't push any out of his mouth (his face is only messy because he was relentlessly grabbing the spoon.)
"I loved that Mom"

P.S. Bradshaw had his 6-month check-up today and after a short hiatus he's back on the growth chart, weighing in at 22 lbs. and just over 29 inches. He also surprised me by taking 3 shots with nothing more than a grunt. Way to go B-Rad!

Absolutely adorable! What a tough guy. It is so good that you were able to capture it for Dustinn.
