A Thirsty & Hungry Fellow

We had our one month follow up appointment today with Mehandis's pediatrician. Lots of good news (except for when Mehandis found out he needed 2 more shots). In one months time, he has gained 2 1/2 pounds and 2 months worth of gross motor skills! True, his doctor said he shrunk a quarter of an inch (length measurement is not a true science at this age) but he can see that Mehandis is a great eater. I thought those thighs were looking a little thicker!!!

His menu has now expanded to include (but not limited to) yogurt, pinto beans, cheese, kiwi and an occasional bowl of Michael's leftover oatmeal. He even fed himself half of a banana this week. I think I will be most adventurous with self-feeding during the last meal of his day... bathtime quickly follows dinnertime!

Check out Mehandis drinking from a cut-out cup during today's lunch. He enjoyed an apple sauce yogurt "smoothie"!

Then he decided he wanted to hold the cup himself. Did a pretty good job!!!
I love the "mustache" that followed...
