Postcards From A Copy Cat...

Well, actually, I'm not the copy cat, Gord is.

As touched on yesterday, Gord was quite the cranky pants. He was really teething, and i'm sure he could pick up on the negative energy that was spewing out of Kim and I .

Kim tried feeding him some rice cereal yesterday morning - as we are now moving it to twice a day. He ate a good portion. However, come dinner time, the boy wanted nothing to do with it. He ate little to none.

Well, tonight began as a clip show from last night. Kim had decided to try out the oat cereal - no formula, just add water. It tastes SO much better!

So we began feeding him, and Gord wanted nothing to do with it again! We had to take him out of the highchair and walk him around - screaming!!

Kim sat him on her lap, and we tried again - screaming!!

After a few minutes, he settled down. Partly because I was hoping he would catch on, and partly because it actually tasted really good, I began eating a few spoonfuls. I was exaggerating the eating motion, and Gord just stared. When I went to try and feed him a spoonful, he opened widely, and accepted it! Yeah for me... I mean Gord!

He ended up eating more tonight than he has at any other time. Mind you it was really runny, but all in all, he ended up eating about 1.5 table spoons of 'powder' or 3 tablespoons of prepared cereal.

We have been noticing him really starting to copy us. He stares, and you can see him figuring things out, and sure enough ends up doing it. Kim today was 'blowing raspberries' and yup, Gord after a few minutes of eyebrows moving up and down (that's his 'thinking' action), he blew back.

So that's that.


Cheers!
