Damien Does Dinner in the Park

On one of Daddy's daycare days, mommy was running a bit late coming home from work. And, despite the pretty crummy rainy, cloudy weather Berkeley has been having, it was a nice evening. So Papa took Damien to the park and brought his dinner and momma ran from BART to meet her boys at the park. Momma found Damien in the swing and had a blast pushing him, as evidenced below. After some swing action, Momma fed Damien dinner in the park - avocado pieces and some jarred puree. After dinner, Damien didn't want to go back in his stroller for the walk home, so he was carried home like the prince he is! A fun and special Friday night!

Ohh, an evening stroll, are we going to go find Momma?

Momma, boy you sure are happy to see me, rough day at work?

Mom, that kid looks like he wants my avocado!

Ok, now that I am done, those kids are no longer a threat to my dinner, can I go play?

Damien Does Dinner

Damien started eating dinner around 6pm after Mommy gets home from work. If he had it his way, it would just eat fruit. But, mommy is torturing him with veggies in the hopes that he will get used to them. If you put a little bit of fruit on the spoon with the veggies he will generally eat them. If you give him veggies alone, he spits it out! It's pretty hilarious. Breakfast (where he has oatmeal cereal, prunes and fruit) is a pretty clean affair. Dinner, on the other hand, about as messy as it gets. Damien tries to grab the spoon, bat the spoon, spit it out, stick his hands in his mouth, etc. He does love avocado though (now, he didn't at first) so we'll be giving that to him more often. Mommy's gonna try some different veggie combos as well.

I like to do it myself.

Chewing on the spoon is fun.

Oh yeah, wearing your dinner is all the rage.

Can I eat the bowl too? What it is not made out of corn?
