Thirtieth Weekiversary

This week Ted had two visitors from New England!  A friend from college spent Thursday afternoon with us and my sister, Christine, stayed with us from Saturday till Tuesday morning.

Auntie Christine gave Ted his first taste of prunes.  So far I think prunes may be his favorite food, but that isn’t saying much, since he isn’t very excited about the whole eating process.  So far he has had rice cereal, bananas, sweet potato, pears, and now prunes.

Christine also gave Ted his first drink of water from a cup.  She gave him some from her own glass of ice water and he loved it.  He did let a lot of it fall out of his open mouth, but he swallowed some of it and asked for more.  I have been giving him some of mine now and decided I should get out some small plastic cups from Pat’s childhood to try out on Ted.  That was a no-go.  Ted has no interest in drinking from a small green cup.

While Christine was here we ate at the Cheesecake Factory, went to the NC State Fair, carved pumpkins, and went to the park.  She made us a roasted chicken for dinner one night and then the next made the leftovers into a pot pie the next night.  So good!  She also let Ted into the container cabinet for the first time.  He loved that!  Sat right down and got to work exploring all our containers and lids.
