Silas's cracker broke and I told him to just eat it, there wasn't anything I could do...so Eli says that he needs "Food Tape", "Food tape will fix the cracker and then you can eat it and it will go in your belly" of course...what was I thinking. He said that's what he did when he was a toddler. And I'm sure he's right and I'm sure it happened.

So Moses is giving kisses when you ask him for one. They are big, wet, slippery and warm. He started eating farm eggs this week with some GF oatmeal. Both he loves and doesn't even gag on. He's a great eater, a total foodie! Pretty much anything on his tray is eaten now. Oh and he also loves kix, which is great to give him while I jump int he shower. I just put him in the chair in the hallway so that I can see him and he is just so happy. Last week he was not so happy though. Very craby and clingy. His upper tooth started to appear on Thursday, it hasn't moved very much in the last 4 days, but it's gonna be a doozy.
