Ryan loves to eat!

OK, this one is from a while back, sometime in late December. Ryan is now eating "real" food and loving it! We gave him sweet potatoes and carrots... he loved them. We gave him apples and bananas... he scarfed them down. We gave him pears, strawberries and rice cereal and he wanted more, more, more. We gave him peas... and he spit them out! He not only spit them out but he gave me a look like none he has ever given me before, filled with disgust and mistrust, as if he couldn't quite believe that I would put something so vile in his mouth. I tried another spoonful thinking it might just be a new taste he needs to get used to, and he gave a whole body shiver followed by a big cough that sent peas over about a three foot radius. I can take a hint... no more peas for Ryan!

Here are some pictures of the first time Ryan had rice cereal, and as you can see he was grabbing my hand trying to get the food in faster!
