Hi

I'm always surprised to learn about people who look at our blog. I have fun posting pictures and videos because I think my son is super cute, and I know that at least his grandparents and aunts and uncles enjoy him as well! But recently I learned that we have some family cousins down in Louisiana who faithfully check us out. When I told Rooke about Laura Lee and little Railey and how they look at our pictures every day, he thought it was important that they see his teeth . . .

I think he looks like a football player in this picture.

My new Mommy-must-have . . . . I found this in London and haven't seen them here yet, but it's fantastic. He'll work on this for twenty minutes, people. Twenty minutes! The food goes inside the green mesh part, it snaps closed, and Rooke can go at it without me having to worry that he's going to choke or shove too much into his mouth at once. I use apple slices and grapes right now - things that he can't eat on his own yet anyway. (I keep telling him that if he'd chew his food, he could eat things without the food toy, but he insists that just swallowing everything whole helps him eat faster).
