Joey the Eating Prodigy

I'm sure it's some sort of record how well this boy is taking to solid food. We now eat banana, apple, pear, carrot, squash and sweet potato, and more quantity than I was really expecting this early in the process. He still doesn't understand that it takes longer to get food with a spoon than with, say, a natural spigot; there are some issues with that (read: he yells an awful lot from about the time the spoon leaves his mouth until it goes back in). What really impresses me is how he eats banana, pear and apple unmashed, and he's a real pig about it. Verve, that's what he's got. Verve and gusto.

The other side of this coin (quite literally) is diapers. *sigh* It's been a good long while since I had to put another human being's poop in a toilet; I was getting to like it. S'alright: this too is just a phase. It's just a phase. It's just a phase. It's just a phase...
