The boy eats solids now.
It seemed like a fun new thing at first. But now, it has turned into a royal pain in the arse. Some days, he opens his mouth right away and on others, he acts like he has never done it before. The latter happens with much more regularity than the former. He clamps his mouth and shakes his head back and forth. On really great days, he raspberry's the food so it splatters all over everything. Ugh. I'm starting to think he may drag his bottle behind him to prom as he is pulled on his guerney.
Today, I asked J to try to see if he could encourage him to eat because I was quickly turning into that mom who force feeds her screaming child against his will. Eating should be fun and I didn't want to screw him up any more than I already have done.
After 20 minutes of singing, cheering, and fake eating, this is what we got. A messy boy and happy parents.

So cute! The best part was listening to John's sound effects!
Caleb still talks about making Gavin laugh....he feels very proud.
You're a great mommy!
I can say this only b/c you are my friend...that poor child looked too scared NOT to eat! Ha! Too cute.
let's see this is an easy comment...I'd have to agree with the previous two posters... with all the sound effects ....man you can't help but to eat your recommended amount of veggies with all the sound effects...
AWESOME though...I remember my mom doing the same stuff to get my sister to eat...'there is nothing new under the sun'...didn't know how to quote a paraphrase...
PARENTING SOUNDS AWESOME ...I think that some of the best parenting has occurred when our parents never knew what they were doing... and to that we have the best memories...
Thanks mom and dad... FOREVER......

"babe, what are you doing?"
*muffled* "....babe! what are you doing?"
I love it! HI-larious! I was laughing out loud at these comments and at seeing John shovel the food into Gavin's mouth-especially when John scrapped the food from around Gavin's mouth to make sure Gavin didn't miss a drop!
LOVE IT!
Love the video- nice addition to the blog!
