Eli has had his first taste of "solid" food! I gave him some mashed banana yesterday morning and this morning. He likes it okay, but doesn't want much of it. He kept pulling my hands toward his mouth, but when he tasted it he made a funny face. When he had enough, he wouldn't open his mouth. You can see by the pictures he's not real sure that he likes it. Brynn was here, and she got some good pictures of it.
Also, Eli has his first tooth!! It literally suddenly appeared this afternoon. He was chewing on my finger as usual, but this time I felt something a little sharp. Sure enough, I could see the top of a tiny tooth on Eli's gum. I've been thinking he might be teething for months now just because he drools so much, and lately he's been putting everything in his mouth. I never noticed him acting fussier than usual or anything like that, so I didn't think he was teething. This week he's been resting his tongue on his bottom gum, sucking his bottom lip, and humming...I guess those were signs? I hope all the teeth come in without a fuss like this one!
John has been gone to San Jose, CA this week for work, and he hated missing these milestones for Eli. It's hard NOT to miss something because he changes and does something new daily!
