"More." That is my big brother Graham's favorite word these days. Especially when he is eating. And boy can Graham eat. And he is messy too.
Daddy asked me to write about what it is like when Graham eats. I think he wanted me to tell the story because I have never eaten solid food. But Graham seems to like it. So much that he usually wipes it all over his face and in his hair.
Two of Graham's recent meals were particularly fun.
On Saturday night, he had sweet potatoes and baby peas, which he managed to get all over his face and he put quite a few sweet potatoes in his hair. Daddy said he was using the special sweet potato "moose." After finishing the sweet potatoes and baby peas, Mommy told Daddy he could give Graham Henry some yogurt. After trying to use his spoon for a few minutes, Graham stuck his whole hand into the bowl and started eating the yogurt with his hand. Here is what Graham looked like when he was done.
A handful of yogurt on top of sweet potatoes and peas -- and don't forget the sweet potato "moose."
A good shot of Graham's sweet potato hair treatment.
On Friday night, Graham got a lot of eating practice. He had to because he was tired after "running" 3 miles with daddy. He started with a bowl of chili and 1/2 of a sweet potato. He ate another half of a sweet potato and then he asked for "more." He is very cute when he asks for more because it sounds like "moh." So Daddy gave him some berries (raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries) in a cup. He ate all of the berries and asked for "more" again. Then Auntie Rachel gave him a graham cracker -- yes, Graham ate a graham cracker. When he was done, he asked for "more" one more time. But Mommy said no "more." Auntie Rachel took a few pictures of his face when it was covered in berry juice.
