For the Love of Sweet Potatoes!!

For the past 2-3 weeks we have been introducing Kailer to "solid foods." We started with rice cereal, which was not a big hit and after tasting it myself, I can see why. I then decided to move onto oatmeal, which went down "okay" but still not a huge success. So as a last attempt to see if Kailer was ready for solids, I got him some bananas, sweet potatoes and sweet peas. Needless to say, thus far these have been a hit! We haven't tired the sweet peas yet, but he thoroughly enjoyed the bananas and sweet potatoes. As you can see in the video, he's enjoying them and even helping me with the spoon. We've been wondering for quite some time now if Kailer is going to be a "lefty" and now I really am beginning to wonder since you can see he reaches for my hand with his left hand. I guess we would be okay with that (do we have a choice?), after all there have been eight left-handed presidents, Michelangelo and Raphael were lefties, Babe Ruth can be added to that list along with Bill Gates, Neil Armstrong, and Einstein (Don't forget, Kailer LOVES Baby Einstein. :) ) ... and lets not forget Kailer's Uncle Mark - all of whom have left their imprint on today's world (Yes, Mark, we believe that you have too)! So with time we will know if he needs "special" scissors and more elbow room at the dinner table.

Enjoy the video of our little bald baby enjoying his potatoes. Dan keeps telling him that his "hair is filling in nicely." It cracks me up everytime he says it ... though he is starting to get his hair back. Thank God, too, because daddy seems to think it's my fault he's bald. Good thing he hasn't seen many of my baby pictures or I might have to live up to his claim. Ha! Hey - bald is"in" - right?!?
