Supper Time!

7 o'clock has become super supper time in Xavier's world. So far he has met and conquered rice cereal, oatmeal, carrots, bananas, and peas. In his presence no veggie, fruit, or grain is safe. Arugula? It's a veg-juh-tah-bull, and if it crosses paths with our son, consider it a goner. He has even developed a "headbang" method to expedite the acquisition of solid foods. Our little boys is all grows up.


Rice cereal.


More rice cereal. Once the novelty of eating something that's not milk wore off, X quickly joined the ranks of experienced 6 month olds who have already realized that rice cereal is not where it's at.


Witness the birth of the Carrot Monster.


Here he is eating carrots while clothed. This was waaaay back in the day before mom and dad realized the awesome staining power of hardcore carrot baby food. Now he takes his meals in his birthday suit.


Carrot buzz. Thanks mom.


Focus Xavier-san, you're beginning to look like a clown.


Peas. Are you kidding? This kid loves peas. Notice I'm restraining his action hand. This is solely to prevent him from grabbing the jar of mushy peas and slamming it down his gullet. It's for his own good.


"PEAS! I'm going Night of the Living Dead zombie-style for peas!"

This is the image I'll conjure every time I see a "Visualize Whirled Peas" bumper sticker on the back of a Prius.
