Ready for food?


We think Emmory may have figured out what food is. It is true that he is very "grabby" in general, but whenever Mark and I are eating or drinking something, he is incredibly desperate to take what we have and try to eat it. Mark was drinking from an open bottle a week or so ago, and Emmory grabbed the bottle and started making sucking movements with his tongue, as if he knew what it was and was trying to drink it. And when Mark was giving him a bottle one night he went to get it out of the fridge and Mark said he immediately knew what it was and grabbed it out of his hands to try to eat it. Now it doesn't matter what it is we are eating or drinking, he decides that he must have it. The first pic is from when we met Mark for lunch one day, and he was trying to get his drink and hamburger the whole time. The second is when he was sitting on my lap trying to drink my drink. This Saturday he'll be five months old, and that is when the dr said we could give him solid food. I think this boy is going to be very happy once this happens. I can't wait to see what his reaction is.
