Wheat Chex

The Bwun takes after me: he loves Wheat Chex. I tell him they’re crackers, for whatever reason.

He's eaten about half the box by himself.

I’m not sure how he eats them so quickly, given that he only has two teeth (still).

But he manages somehow.

Also, it’s really hard to take a picture of the Bwun. He likes to move around a lot.

Evidence.

Can you believe he’ll be ONE YEAR OLD in less than two weeks? It’s difficult for me to accept! While it does seem like ages ago that we were in the hospital with him, the year has gone by really quickly. Remember when he was this tiny?

It took both the Romgi and I about 15 minutes to get the Bwun into his going-home outfit. We were so timid and unsure!

And now he’s all grown up and eating Wheat Chex…sigh.

I hate messes.

It may surprise you, if you know what a horrible housekeeper I am, to learn that I really hate messes. Imagine what a trial (!) it is for me to have a little boy around. (By the way, I realized today that the Bwun is more and more a little boy and less a baby. Sad! And exciting at the same time!)

Besides the fact that the Bwun destroys every tidy and clean spot I can create in our house, he also likes to feed himself. I try to give him little things he can pick up, and leave the spoon-feeding to me, but today was just one of those days. He was determined to use the spoon not only to put food in his mouth but to scoop food out of the bowl. We tried yogurt.

It was a big, big mess.

This was just the beginning. Really, he'd only had about 2 bites.

Still just barely into the bowl.

That's about when we stopped.

It would have been okay if the Bwun hadn’t finally picked up the little bowl and started waving it around. And dumping it on his pants, which had avoided getting any food on them until that point. Yeah, he had a bath right after I finished taking pictures.

Transcription

The Bwun got ahold of the computer a little earlier this evening. After a series of clicks and keyboard noises I thought it best to see what damage he had wreaked. It turns out he actually just left me a message:

=[-p=[-p=[-p=[-p=[-p=[-p=0[o9pjkl.;

As far as I can tell, he types exactly the way he talks.
