Food reactions

Nathaniel has had no negative reactions to his solid foods so far. Sure, his poop has given us some iffy reactions (oh, for the good old days of formula poop ... or at least sweet potato poop, which looks about the same), but his ingesting of foods hasn't been a problem.

-- We started with sweet potato ... worked fine. (My review: The best we've given him)
-- We moved on to sweet peas ... he seemed OK with them. (My review: Least appetizing, least flavor, but Nathaniel didn't seem to mind.
-- We're giving him bananas now. He seems to like them, and I think they're OK. Amanda, on the other hand, has had bad reactions to bananas. She's disgusted by the overly sweet mush and the strong, sweet smell. I pointed out to her that it's odd she has no problem with his poop but the bananas almost make her gag ... but she didn't seem to find my observation as interesting as I found it. Oh well.

Anyway, the little guy is doing fantastic. His biggest problem of late: He's really good at rolling over. It's not uncommon for him to roll over in his sleep, then wake up and get upset at the fact that someone apparently put him down on his belly. He then lets us know he doesn't appreciate this practical joke we've played on him. (During the daytime, he easily rolls back over from his belly if he chooses to ... at night, perhaps he loses that ability.)

This actually helped recently when the alarm clock didn't go off and I was about 20 minutes late to wake up ... Nathaniel squawked, I woke up and ran off to work, barely getting in on time. Great job, little guy.

Hmmm. Having some photo issues, but here's a fun one from late last week. He picked up the paper himself and started looking at it ... then he moved toward trying to eat it, at which point I stopped him:
