Okay, so what has happened with Ronin lately? Ronin is still the same happy healthy baby. He has now two upper teeth with a gap between them. He continues to drink his formula and eat his pureed food (he prefers the fruits such as applesauce and peaches to the vegetables). He has also graduated to small pieces of mango and banana. Today he had pieces of a corn muffin and quite liked it. Anything he likes he will cry out with his mouth open to make sure you know he wants more. When he is finished he just pushes the spoon away.
He is a lazy eater. He doesn’t want to feed himself with the spoon despite attempts of mommy to try to teach him how to do it. Mommy even tries to teach him to hold his bottle and he will cry when you will try. Yet, he knows how to hold his sippy cup. Although the sippy cup is more like a teether for him because he tends to move it around his mouth to gum it. He also loves to gargle with it as well as with his formula bottle. He is a funny kid.
Is he a messy eater? Of course. What 7 month old isn’t? He loves to play with his feeding spoon, his bowl, and anything he could get his hands on and the bold little tyke loves to watch your eyes bug out when you see him dangle the dirty spoon, dirty bowl, dirty anything over his tray heading toward the floor. It is like he is daring you to do something. It is a mexican standoff. Are you fast enough to catch the dirty spoon, dirty bowl, dirty anything or he is faster in letting go the dirty spoon, dirty bowl, dirty anything? Trust me he is a quick little sucker but a cute little sucker. You can only be mad for so long once you see the twinkle in his eyes.
