Puzzle Pieces ... It's What's for Dinner!

Holden has certainly been growing and changing so quickly recently, and it's been hard to keep up with the bloggin'. So I'm going to try and catch up here in the next week or so, posting some of Holden's finest summer moments that have gone by without the proper blog attention (which every baby needs, of course).

Holden's favorite toy for quite some time now has been these animal puzzles he has (one makes animal sounds, and one doesn't). He is so good at grabbing the pieces out of the puzzle, and inspecting them in a most curious way. And, yes, sometimes they end up in his mouth -- but most often we just stares at them, perhaps trying to figure out how these zebras, elephants, lions, and tigers got so small.

He's been intentionally eating a lot of other new things as he continues to experience new foods. Recently, he's been introduced to lentils, tofu, onions, baked sweet potatoes with apple and cinnamon, and CHEERIOS! Yes, for some reason, one of the most anticipated snack foods for babies has always been Cheerios, and Holden finally added that to his menu this past week. He seems to really like them (maybe that's why parents are always so excited to add Cheerios to the diet, besides the fact that they are really convenient). He's not quite feeding them to himself, but we're working on that one.
