Carrot Top

In most of my recent posts I have commented on how Grey is growing up so quickly and what a blessing he has been to all of us, and this post will be no different. On January 28, 2009, Grey Carter had his first jar of carrots! Like every other milestone in Grey's life it was recorded via Nikon and the new "Flip" Video Camera (which I had never even heard of). He did really well even though, at first, he was a little confused about what exactly he was suppose to do with the spoon and the orange mush. Shortly after the first bite, he realized that this was a much needed improvement from his milk with cereal. As we all sat around on floor and watched we were in awe of how utterly hilarious he was. He couldn't stop talking or maybe it was laughing, we are still not sure. Mom thought that as long as he didn't have an outfit top on he wouldn't make such a mess. Ha, yeah right Yia-Yia!!! He had orange all over both hands, on his forehead, up his nose, between each finger, down his tummy, and all over the outfit he had on. He enjoyed himself almost as much as we did just watching him eat it. I've heard that he will love the jars of fruit much more later on and after that it's very difficult to get him to even eat vegetables. It seems like he's been in our home for a long time and at the same time it seems like just yesterday he just arrived. It's crazy how fast they grow up and get away from you. All the while, you don't realize that you are also getting older with them. Just doesn't feel that way to me. Like he's getting older and I just stay the same age. The videos have been uploaded to YouTube and have been dispersed throughout Myspace already. He's adorable if I say so myself. While devouring the carrots in the tiny jar, his mommy made the joke that the smelly orange food matched his hair. For those of you who have only seen pictures, Grey's hair is red! Well, kind of orange actually. It's precious! And yes it did somewhat match the jar of food. LOL. Even though he is messy we all love him so much that it's overwhelming. Until next time..... stay clean and eat your Veggies.
