:: 41 Days and Counting ::

Don't let this face fool you...As happy as he is to pose for the camera, even with food on his face, this boy will not eat solid foods! I have tried everything I can think of. For the past 41 days, I have tried all types of foods - purees, fruit, yogurt (as seen above), oatmeal, teething biscuits. I have offered him Cheerios, cheese, and even watermelon to navigate on his own and he is so NOT interested in any of it.

This is the real face he makes when I try to feed him:In other news...since the Presidential Inauguration in January, Analise constantly asks about our President. This is a common conversation in this house, almost verbatim each time:

A: "What Barack Obama doing?"
Me: "um...working"
A: "Why?"
Me: "Because he is our President and he has to work."
A: "Where is Barack Obama?"
Me: "um...probably at the White House."
A: "Why?"
Me: "Working for our country."
A: "What's our country?"
Me: "We live in America."
A: "A country like Germany?"
Me: "Yes. America is a country like Germany is a country"
A: "Does Barack Obama like Germany?"
Me: "I am sure he does like Germany."
A: "Why?"
Me: "Because..."
A: "What Barack Obama doing?"

Today, while playing outside with a soccer ball she came up to me and asked, "Mama, do you think Barack Obama will play soccer with me?" "I think if he wasn't so busy running the country, he may play soccer with you."
