a small victory

It has been a challenge to get Ryan to eat much of anything, but in the past few weeks, he has decided Cheerios are okay to eat. Last night, we watched him pick up a Cheerio and get it in to his mouth! HOORAY! He also ate a few spoonfuls of sweet potatoes without throwing them up! Another hooray!

Tonight he ate half of the cube of sweet potatoes, a few small chunks of banana, and quite a few chunks of bread. He seemed to like the bread the best, but he did eat the other things without too much complaining!

And he is learning to drink water from a sippie cup!

He will be nine months next week....much later than our other boys to start eating, but we are thankful for these small victories! Praise God!

Oh...and on another note, I really enjoy seeing Ryan's face light up with a HUGE smile when he sees Bill walk down the hallway after work. He knows and loves his daddy. it is so sweet.

Yeah Ryan! Noah likes sweet potatos too.
Babies are so fun to watch when they see someone they love. They get so happy!

I'm so glad he's eating solid food. Kids are so different! Annabeth was gobbling it up at 4 months.
