Alligator Tears and Play Time

Well Kreg and I ate our first dinner with a baby crying through the entire meal tonight. Aiden has decided he loves bread. And when I say he loves bread this is actually an understatement. He LOVES bread. He uses both hands to shovel it in as fast as he possibly can. If there is bread and cheerios on his tray at the same time he pushes all the cheerios off so he can concentrate on the bread alone. The last couple of days we have noticed him whining more when we sit down to feed him well we figured out its because he just wants bread. He doesn't want any of his other food, which he use to like quite well (sweet potato's, peas, applesauce, etc.) So tonight we made him eat his vegetables and yogurt before he could have a piece of bread. Yeah well that did not go over so well. Huge alligator tears. I couldn't even look at him. Kreg held us both strong though and I truly do think it was a good thing. Aiden needs to learn who is in control and he is so cute its hard to not give into him, especially when he is crying those huge tears! He made it through however. He ate his vegetables and his yogurt and was extremely happy when we finally gave him some bread. Hopefully this will be a quick stage and we won't be enduring tears through every dinner.

I have no pictures of the alligator tears at dinner but I did take some pictures of Aiden playing today. He is such a big boy! He has a toy he stands up at and it makes all kinds of music and noise when he pushes the buttons. I think its the favorite toy right now. While playing he discovered he could see his reflection in our fire place so he proceeded to not only try and stand up and push the buttons but also wave at himself...and wave at himself....and wave at himself. I think he waved all afternoon. I am sure he probably thinks there is a little person his size living in our fire place that likes to wave at him. Oh the simplicities of life when you are only 10 months old.
