Mmmm pickles!

Before we get to the reason for the title of this blog I had to first share some bath time pictures and video of Denver. I think it's time for Mom to get the tub clean so Denver can move out of his baby tub and go to the big tub as he has learned how to maneuver himself around in his tub.

"I may not crawl, but I can still get to where I want to be!"

Now for the pickles!

We let Denver suck on a pickle the other night when we were out to eat with Evan's softball league after their game. He loved it. He wants to eat big people food and wants to be able to do it himself. We'd take any suggestions people have for things he can do himself. Denver also loves to eat bananas in his baby food feeders. (For those of you who do not know what baby food feeders are they are a little thing that has a mesh compartment where you can snap food into and then there's a handle where they can hang onto and eat it and the mesh part prevents them from getting a big chunk that they can choke on.)

Last week my mom and I made baby food for Denver. We made pears, peaches, sweet potatoes, 2 chicken dishes (one with rice and veggies and the other with potatoes), green beans, and carrots. Denver had his first taste of chicken the other night. He wasn't so sure what to think of it. Making Denver's food was so rewarding for me as now I know what my child is eating!

Denver was 7 months old yesterday. His 7 month post will be coming. I have an idea for these pictures, but Daddy has to go shopping with us to get the "props". I hope to get some more video footage taken this week as well. Denver loves to stand and walk. He's getting so strong he'll just pop himself out of your lap to stand up. There is a little fear so he usually won't stand up until he sees your hands there for him to grab onto so he doesn't fall over.

Also, Evan came home when I was trying to finish up my blog yesterday so I forgot to include the picture of him and his big catch (25 inches).
