Rice and Beyond!

Malachi is eating solids! Yea! So far just rice, but I can tell he's itching for more flavors. He gets annoyed with us when we eat and he can't have what we are having. But he didn't seem to handle rice in the morning too well, so we'll get that established before we add peas, probably this weekend. He eats rice cereal like a champ in the evening and did okay having it at lunchtime today. There is no need for coaxing. The spoon is held up and he opens his mouth.

I don't want to say we talk a lot of politics in our house, but Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and John McCain are recognizable names for Gabe. On the radio this morning he heard them talking about Clinton's win in W. Virginia. "Mommy, they said Hillary Clinton won." So, I replied, "Yes, she won one state yesterday, but it's not over yet." And Gabe responded, "Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama." Then I said, "Yes, that's right. Do you know who Mommy and Daddy like?" He promptly replied, "Barack Obama." It's cute. He's so proud of himself for knowing the names.
