Lincoln's first wagon wheel

The can says: "Your baby is ready for wagon wheels when he crawls on hands and knees with tummy up and off the floor, eats thicker, lumpier foods with larger pieces, uses jaw to mash food with gums, holds small foods between thumb and first finger."

Well, 1 out of 4 ain't bad. He's really good at using his pincher fingers. The rest of it will come, of course, and in the meantime he can enjoy the big boy thrill of holding and eating his own food.



[For the record, Greta was 10-months old (8 months, adjusted) when she had her first. But he has the visible nub of a tooth already, which Greta lacked until -- gulp! -- 15 months.]

One of the most pleasing sights I know is a round faced baby enjoying his food. Adorable video! By the way, you don't have to justify feeding your child.
