Caleb's culinary courage

To celebrate St. Patrick's Day, we gave the boys their first solid food: pureed corned beef and cabbage! Just kidding, we actually gave them some organic rice cereal mixed with milk. Caleb was more open-minded than Joshua about eating from a spoon. We first he had to pry his mouth open and he gave us a look as if to say "ew, what's this?". Then he thoughtfully smacked his lips as he contemplated the new taste and texture. By the end of the meal he was opening his mouth wide when the spoon touched his lips! This wasn't the first time the boys had tasted something other than mommy's milk, though. A few days ago we touched a piece of orange to their lips and watched them pucker!
