Jacob ate carrots for the first time today, at 27 weeks old. Unlike avocado, which he also tried this week, Jacob enthusiastically smeared the rice cereal-carrot goop all over his face, including some that made it in his mouth.
A very, very happy birthday to you, Amy!
(Since we are about to move, I didn't want to give Amy anything hard to carry. So this blog is Amy's birthday gift: for the next year, I will add one (or more) new photos of Jacob each week.) We all love you, Amy. Many happy returns of the day!
love, Mike
