A Pea-Lovin' Mechanic?

It's a rainy day here in NC, so we're playing inside. Josiah is fairly obsessed with his red car and it's currently parked inside. So, we've done some laps around the house in it, walked around it, and he's been working "under the hood". It's pretty entertaining, especially if Mom keeps putting things in the car that he gets to find, pull out, and throw. Perhaps we have a future mechanic in the family?



This is such a fun stage for me...it seems like Josiah is doing new things everyday. This past week, these new things have mostly revolved around food. At his 9-month check-up, the pediatrician gave us the green light for giving him any table food - no more pureed baby food! Well, Josiah has loved it and likes pretty much anything we put in front of him. Just in the past week he's had his first mango, hot dog, apple, non-whole grain waffle, whole peas (aka not pureed), wild rice, and zucchini. He loved everything but the zucchini. He tried to get into a plate of chocolate chip cookies last night while I was driving...thankfully I didn't wreck the car and he didn't get any cookies, although they were strewn across the back seat - note to self, put food in the front seat from now on. Today at lunch, he kept pointing to the bowl of peas and wanting more, which completely floored me. Who actually likes peas? I guess he does...
