Burl's First Food - That He Likes

That's more like it. After the oat-maple teething biscuit, Burl tried a little mashed avocado. He did not hate it but it wasn't as good as the biscuit. He accepted 3 or 4 bites of avocado before closing up shop. Super happy. Today was the first time Burl's had a cookie-crust! His shirt, right ear, fingers and cheeks were all maple-y, splattered with a little sickly green avocado... First time he's had to change cuz off his food. And he wasn't even THAT messy. I expected so much worse so much sooner. Must reassess how I seem to think of Burl as a big guy, big eater and so forth. He's pretty neat, clean and abstemious.

Burl is so happy almost all the time, it's just wonderful to be with him. Last night Ryan was talking about how we needed Burl in our family. Burl the optimist, the smiler, the positive light.
