Growing Up Baby

Along with having learned to crawl, reaching for things on purpose, and all the other things Allen has been learning to do this last month~



Today we had another "first". I was sitting here eating a Ritz Cracker and Allen kept reaching for it. Although I was a little concerned that it could choke him, I figured he was on my lap and I could run quick interference if needed, I handed him his own cracker. He gnawed away on the thing, cooing and chattering at it.



Then he dropped it. He squealed, very frustrated. I picked it up and handed it back to him. Again he gnawed away on it. When it was finally gone, he was once more squealing, seeming to want another.

I didn't give him another since this was his first cracker and I don't want him to get sick. But it was so cute to see him love this first. Not only was this a FIRST for eating a cracker it was also a FIRST for feeding himself! YAY!
