Declan started his day off right with his usual bottle and cereal. Then Mommy had some waffles with syprup so, hey...why not let the little man try it (he's staring at my every movement like he wants to have it). I handed him a little piece with a touch of maple syrup on it. Right to his mouth (which is weird because usually he just holds onto things he should eat and eats things he shouldn't). So right to his mouth, syrup side. He seemed to really like it. Just sucking away at it. Then just like that, he was done with it. Didn't really eat any of the waffle. Then I, got it. Declan just sucked off the syrup and left the waffle behind little monkey.
For lunch today I thought why not try some more real foods. I scrambled an egg yolk, cut up some banana pieces and little chucks of cheese. Prepared a little plate even and gave it to Declan to try. He did a great job of mushing up and then wearing the banana - did not eat, then he picked at some of the cheese pieces - did not eat and for the grand finale he gagged at the egg when I spooned some into his mouth - did not eat. So...that went well. I gave him some baby food and mushed up the banana for him so his tummy was full, I ate the cheese and the egg was tossed. Guess we'll wait a bit longer before we try that again.
After lunch we got cleaned up and ready to head to Erin Mills Town Center with Declan's buddy Owen and his Mommy Hayley. He got in a short nap on the road there and then he was all happy and ready for mall strolling when we got there. It is sweet to see Declan's little face light up when he sees his buddy. Either he is starting to remember him or he just likes other babies. They rolled for a while and then we sat down for a drink and snack at one of the coffee places. Mommy had a croissant which meant that Declan was able to try croissant too. I gave him a good size piece of the soft middle. Declan sucked on it until it was a disgusting wet lump of a thing that made me want to throw up a little. He certainly enjoyed the flavour but not actually digesting it. Sure looked cute attacking it though.
When we were leaving the mall it was raining lightly and that meant that little Declan was getting some gently in his face. This is funny. I don't know how exactly but the kid was having a laughing fit. He was laughing and squealing. So sweet, can't wait until he sees snow!
And finally my little man had a simple dinner of peas and carrots but for dessert he tried strained strawberries (jarred baby food). He ate every last bit. Declan loves his jarred peas and carrots (that's right...so long as Mommy doesn't make them he loves them) and the strawberries seemed to be a hit. We'll try them again tomorrow just to find out for sure and to make certain there are no allergies.
