Our Big Eater

Rai, you are eating more and more every day.
These days, you request double portions of solid food before going to bed in the evening. It's hard to believe that just over a few weeks, your appetite has changed so much that you can handle so much more food in one feeding.
On the other hand, looking at your face, hands, bib, and pants the other evening, we figure that that second helping of solid food didn't actually end up in your stomach anyway. It looked a little like you had a full bowl of sweet potatoes smeared across your cheeks and clothing.
The funny thing is that this mess is the result of you trying to help us feed you. As soon as the spoon comes within arm's reach, you grab it with an iron grip and pull it towards your mouth. Your intentions are pure, but the result is food splashing everywhere and your hands covered in it, leaving only a tiny morsel for your mouth.
Whatever the case may be, we're glad that you're enjoying solid foods so much. We're certainly enjoying the process of feeding it to you! We'll try some more vibrant colors next!
