a new era

The era of the ubiquitous cheerio (well, technically Joe's O's). Yep, they're everywhere and I can only guess they will multiply and turn up in the darnedest of places. Micah successfully ate cheerios yesterday without gagging--a marked improvement over the first attempt a couple of weeks ago that left me shaken and swearing off ever graduating Micah beyond any food that had not been mashed, pureed AND been put through the baby food mill. As this photo attests to, Micah hasn't quite mastered the pincer grasp(forefinger and thumb)-to-mouth coordination yet, but he is on his way.
