He likes his veggies!

Well it might be a tad too early to make such a sweeping proclamation, but we at least know that he likes his carrots (mashed beyond recognition, of course). We moved beyond rice cereal and oatmeal after his 6 month milestone, and we're trying veggies this week.

I have also come to learn that rice cereal and other such baby food must be cleaned up from the general area of feeding asap. The eating process, as can be noted from the video below, is a somewhat messy affair; these baby foods tend to be rather sticky, and the sooner a moist towel is applied to the area in question, the better for all concerned. Just one of these things one learns on the job.

To cry or to laugh...

... that is the question.

Jumper

This guy loves to jump around. His new toy helps him do just that, and saves his parent's arms in the process.

Toronto

Yo went on his first international trip a couple weeks ago, for our cousin Prashanth's wedding to Naomi (congrats again, guys!). He did really well on the 5 hour flights, thank God! Slept through most of it, and thankfully the take-offs and landings didn't bother him too much. On the way back we missed our first flight out of Buffalo, and got re-routed all around the country as a result. He was quite the trooper that day as well. All in all, it was a great time with family.

Of laughter and fashion

Smiles are slowly morphing into full-fledged laughter...

Susan does an amazing job taking care of Yo. Part of that is just keeping track of and organizing the little man's wardrobe. Thanks to aunts and friends, we have a whole bunch of clothes that have been passed down to us, in addition to all the gifts we've received. Susan has sorted all of these into neat, age-appropriate bundles. And in the current age selection they are further sorted into onesies, going-out clothes, pajamas, etc etc. (And people say I'm organized!) I'm quite content just picking something random for the boy to wear, but she loves to pick just the right set for the occasion. And as a result, we have quite the well-dressed young man on our hands.
