Continued food success

MrMan, as anticipated, loves him some food. Okay, he's tried only two things (three, if you count my milk), but, so far, he's loving it all. We did rice cereal for a few days and he grunted for more after each spoonful. Then, last night, we spontaneously started him on asparagus. He kept straining to reach with his mouth the asparagus my mom was putting in her mouth. So, we let him gum it, and it was a hit. He kept gobbling the asparagus juice/stalk innards down. He really is my son. Except that I have yet to notice that, shall we say, special asparagus fragrance that follows.

that special asparagus "fragrance" is genetic. Not everyone has it afterwards. I do! I've talked our bio prof about it, and it's the strangest thing.

It's great that he's doing *so* well with eating! I hope that continues for a long time! We haven't given Luke asparagus yet. Should really try that! He *loves* fruit and cheese, just like his parents. :)

Last night I had asparagus soup, and I wondered if Olivia's pee would smell from my milk. Of course it didn't, but it really is odd how that happens.
