carrots

talan has finally started to open his mouth on a regular basis in order to get fairly good at eating cereal. we were told once he was eating cereal for a couple of weeks we could then move him on to veggies. so that's just what we did yesterday. i fed him carrots. there was no real ugly face or anything like that. he pretty much took it the way he takes his cereal. he didn't seem to necessarily love it, but he certainly doesn't hate it. he's just big time into his bottle and he doesn't really seem to care to eat any other way. but he'll do it, usually.
hayden has been in helpful mode all afternoon so when i was getting talan ready to eat i asked hayden if he would bring the bowl of carrots over. he then said he could feed him. and because really, feeding him is pretty much a pain, i agreed. i certainly don't think that talan got as much in his mouth as he did last nite, but they both had fun. hayden isn't much for patience (wonder where that comes from) so he didn't really like to wait until talan opened his mouth himself. well, whatever. at least i didn't have to do it.


he has no idea what he's in for:
what is this?!:
i guess i'll take some more:


oh good, we're done:
