Sam Eats Peppers

As I think I mentioned before, we've been slowly introducing Sam to table food.  He sits at his high chair while we eat dinner and munches on some of what we're eating.  Yesterday was his first taste of red peppers, and he loved them!

Grass

After Sam recovered from the sprinklers, we hung out outside and Sam explored grass for the first time.  Amazingly, he didn't try to eat it!

Playing in the Sprinklers

North Point Park, a new and very nice playground/park near our house, has sprinklers on during the summer so people can cool down on hot days.  On Saturday, Brian decided to see whether Sam would enjoy a splash.


He started off okay...

But then tried to hide from the water...

and he held on to Daddy for dear life.

Not such a fan.  Maybe we'll try again next summer!

California Sunday: Table Food

Along with his pureed peas, squash, and sweet potatoes, we have started to introduce Sam to real food. He loves grabbing his veggies and sticking them in his mouth, though we're actually not sure whether he realizes they're edible! (He did the same with Kimmy's chapstick, Mommy's water bottle, and anything carelessly left within his reach.) Here he is trying lettuce for the first time.
