what's that on your plate papa?

so at the doctor's today we talked about when greta gets to start eating solid foods. this came up because some babies start solids at 4 months, and one sign that they are ready can be when they start to watch others eat and stare at food. as seen in the picture, greta clearly exhibits this behavior. on this particular night, she was practically falling out of the side of her bumbo trying to get some of joe's potatoes. and there was drool.....everywhere.....
but even though this is a sign that she is ready, our doctor suggested we wait another month or two. since greta has a milk allergy, she might be prone to other allergies. i wanted to wait anyway, so i was glad to hear that her doctor shared my opinion. but who gets to break the news to greta that its breastmilk only for the next few months??!!

So does Joe eat in front of Greta just to taunt her? I'm sure she'll pay him back for that in the future with maybe a plate of spaghetti on the shirt or a glass of ice water in the lap.
