I'm such a big boy now!

Well, as most of you know, I have been waiting to give Eli any solid foods cause I wanted Ryan to be here for at least THAT first! :) We have been meaning to do it all week, but we have just been traveling around everywhere, so it kept getting delayed! Well, we determined to start it Sunday night, so after Eli woke up from his late afternoon nap, I warmed up some Sweet Potatoes and got him ready for his big debut! Ryan was armed and ready to get every angle of the first couple bites, so we literally have like 50 pics of the big moment, but figured you would like to just see the highlights! ;) I love the Before/After pics... ;) Babies are too funny! Daddy gave him a bath afterward and put him in his new penguin jammies, so took a few of that too. He had in for Lunch and Dinner Monday and ate the whole thing and fussed a little if I took too long getting the next bite! We're gonna do Sweet Potatos for about a week to make sure he's not allergic, then we'll switch to something else.

Alright, hope you enjoy...
Getting Ready for the Moment of Truth...

Still oblivious...

He was trying to grab the spoon the whole time! ;)

First Time having "Solid" foods, Yay!

I don't know about this!


This is weird Mommy!

I changed my mind... Don't take it away!!

This stuff is actually pretty tasty!

What's Up Daddy?

Yeah whatever...

I'm not messy... I think you're messy...

Before/After!! ;)


Do you think I'm spoiled?


Yay for Penguins!!!

SWEET POTATOES, THAT'S ONE OF GRAN-POPS FAVORITE FOODS. I BET IF YOU GIVE ME THAT SPOON, I COULD GET IT IN MY MOUTH FASTER. WHEN DO I GET MARSHMALLOWS WITH MY SWEET POTATOES MOM? ELI'S PICS HAVE MADE MY DAY. THANKS RYAN AND BETTE ANNE. NANA

Yeah.....real food. I just love these pictures. The before / after is too funny. At least he wasn't screaming in between bites (Russ did that). Loved the bib also. Life with Eli will only keep getting better. Glad you are enjoying being a complete family now.
