Eating Practice

With my impending 6 month birthday coming up, mom has been preparing me for my first solid-food meal. After a few days of playing with toys in my high chair, tonight, she gave me a couple wedges of cucumber to munch on while we sat down for a family dinner. I immediately lost one of the wedges, but went to town on the other, nearly throwing a tantrum when I dropped it for fear I might not get it back.

Grasping the slippery cuke required intense-super-zuyder-focus*

Sweet grab skills to mash the cuke on my radical smooshing gums.

On the left: the cuke that escaped my gum-mashing extravaganza. On the right: the cuke that I annihilated with my awesome gum-mashing skills.

I think I am going to reaaaaaaaally like eating big-boy food...

*Zuyder-focus is a super power innate in male Zuyderduyns; Allows male Zuyderduyns to focus solely on the task at hand while bombs explode, houses cave in and/or tsunamis of unicorns roll by all completely unnoticed by the male zuyder-focuessed Zuyderduyn.
