Baby’s first “food”
Posted in H. sapiens var. Simon on December 13th, 2011 by rmd – 2 CommentsIs this a sign that Simon is developmentally ready for solids?
I was trying to read the other day so I let him play with one of those annoying reply-by-mail cards that’s always falling out of magazines.
Before I knew it, he bit a hole in the paper. Well, actually he slobbered and drooled enough to gum off a piece. I went fishing around in his mouth for it, but it was gone. Down the hatch!
We were planning to keep him on momma’s milk for 6 months. Maybe he’s trying to tell us that he’s ready to branch out from breasts. Or maybe he’s just tired of board books and wants to read some ambitious long-form journalism.
