All righty then.

Procrastinating at work, so I thought I'd go ahead and start this.

Most of you know Peanut's face.



She was born Sept. 6 (the day before my birthday) at a petite 5 pounds 9 ounces.
She's tall and skinny (at least according to the charts) and growing so quickly that you can almost watch it in real time.

Two (bottom) teeth so far and more on their way.

Sweet potatoes, peas, apples, bananas are her favorites so far.

She didn't really get hip to the carrots. Odd, because both Mrs. JPW (or as I've taken to calling her -- My Peanut Momma) and I love carrots.

She is the happiest baby that I have ever seen. Rarely cries. Eats well. Has been sleeping through the night since she was three months old. Loves to play hide and seek. Favorite stuffed animal to chrew on -- Pat the Bunny; with Baaaab, the sheep, coming in a close second.

And away we go with this thread....

In the opera on Saturday, and a particular aria made me cry. My 5 year old nephew next to me grabs my head, pulls it toward him, and whispers in my ear "you want me to hold your hand?" I nodded yes, and he didn't let go until the 1st act was over.

Not often you find a kid that likes Swanky Frank's and opera.

Is this the same nephew?

[omnivorette]

Yes indeed, one and the same.

AAAAWWWWW!
That's very sweet.

If you can't handle it you'll just have to exercise restraint and not read it.

I have two kids, a seriously beautiful 5 1/2 year old (she'll be 6 in July) named Emma Catherine and a devilish little blond urchin named Ian Thomas who turns 3 on 4/29. I will post some photos eventually.

I am interested in what MF's kids are eating and/or cooking.

Heather, with Logan, we are fortunate. Before he even had teeth, he was sucking down grown-up chow like a ShopVac. I have said many times that it was like feeding a Muppet.

He made it very clear early on that he likes flavor: his mother and I are both good cooks. We took him to a farm dinner in October (he was eight months old), and he tore into the heirloom tomato soup (with a tomato slice on top), the chicken, the bread -- everything went into the piehole.

This is very nice for me, as my daughter was the classic Picky Eater: "I don't like it. It has things in it." Things being seeds, texture, etc.

Here is a picture of Logan at Mariquita Farm's goat petting on Saturday. The little goats weren't afraid of him, I guess because he's so tiny himself.

Heather, et al - nearly 20 month old Jack loves broccoli, spinach, ravioli and breast milk.

[Cathy]

Liza, we haven't seen a pic of HRB in a while.

Oh, and don't forget the frîtes.

Not a baby. THE baby.


My favorite 2-legged boy.
