It was an exciting night at the Livermore home tonight... we were sitting at the table finishing up dinner and Erik in his highchair, providing us with great entertainment. Sean had a fabulous idea to pull out the fruit pieces (small pieces of freeze dried fruit). We put them on his tray and he started playing with them, which isn't too uncommon, but that's about all he does, play and quickly loses interest. When I say play, it means pushing them around with his fingers, maybe getting one stuck on his palm, but not knowing its there...hence the quickly losing interest part.
Well tonight, he had a piece of banana in his hand and he attempted to bring it to his mouth!!! This is a first. Not only did he get it in his hand, he felt the tray to find it, all by himself. That's right no help from mama. We were so excited, but we couldn't cheer too loud (so we did a whisper cheer). We didn't want to scare him since he was doing SO good. YEAH Erik!!! GOD is GOOD...
Yum...so proud of our little guy! So that is the way to feed him his bananas or start with them..they stick so good to the hand and fingers. Summer Joy he is so precious....

ReplyDeleteHi it's me again....give darling Eric a squeeze and kiss...let him know his Auntie is praying for him. God has a plan for him, Eric being happy and embracing him with love all through his life is the most important gift we can give him. He is so lucky to have such loving intelligent parents like you two. my love Aunt Marie
