Green Bean Monster!

Chrlie has been introduced to baby food and just like his father (Me), he loves anything that you put on his plates. He did not care too much for peas, but if that is the only thing that he won't eat right now, that is fine by me. He really loves green beans. They are pureed of course.

Since the introduction of baby food Charlie has been sleeping very well. With a full belly he doesn't have to wake up every three hours to eat. He still gets up at the crack of dawn, but with a full nights sleep it isn't too bad.

Charlie woke me up this morning by beating on my head with his hammer like fist again. I opened my eyes and he gave me a big smile. We laid in bed for a while until I was fully awake and we made our way down stairs to begin the day. I gave him the stuffed Elmo that I bought for him last night and he attempted to destroy it. Charlie played with Elmo until he realized that he could not him and decided it was time to eat.

I positioned Charlie in his, I think it's called Bumpo seat, and put his bib on him. He knew what was coming. He got excited and prepared his taste buds for the feast. He licks his lips and opens his mouth as wide as he can. You have to be a fast scooper to feed our child. He looks like a little bird waiting in the nest except he grunts instead of chirping.

I began shoveling the food into his mouth and he began sucking it down. He likes to bite the spoon and thinks that it is funny when you can't get it out of his mouth. I think that he might be part dog? The feast continued for several minutes and his face was covered in green beans. The green drool of a teething five month old has the consistency of 5W-30 motor oil. It slowly runs down their chin and dries into a crystalized crust on their face and body. Charlie always insist on chewing on his fingers with a mouth full of food too. That makes even more of a mess.

Between the grunting, the green drool and the love of green beans, I have deemed my child as the green bean monster. I will let the pictures tell the rest of the story.
