Our little bear is growing up. He has more hair, more determinate desires and projects (like walking, crawling, and stealing spectacles). He is also, happily, sleeping much better. We get 5-7 hours stretches at night now. So, nice. Still, he is pretty much against eating. He will snack on some toast (teething toast or snackbread), which he can hold himself, but rejects purees, or anything that is (a) slimy (fruit, avocado, steamed veggies) or (b) comes on a spoon. He will put anything other than food in his mouth, of course. So, 95-99% of his calories are just breastmilk and he is closing in on 8 months. He remains a willful child, but he is also a happy one. He is so very social. Smiling at strangers and even grabbing at them. People on the street are taken with him. Just yesterday someone insisted on buying our jalpenos for us.
