first food

james has a new sweater! this was knit by my friend suzanne, who is much faster. my yarn though. gorgeous colorway (goblin by mosaic moon). Eliot has been begging for big people food for a month now. We were waiting for him to show all the readiness signs (older than 6 mos, independent sitting, ability to bring food to his mouth independently, watching people eat with interest, etc). We also talked to
James' allergist yesterday to see if he thought it was an ok thing given that Eliot obviously will have allergies given his eczema. He agreed with me that its better to encourage communication and respect developmental readiness, rather than clear up the eczema entirely first. So anyway, he was thrilled we were finally going to feed him. Then he was horrified that big people actually ate such disgusting things lol.
