Overprotective first-time parents

That's Jim and I.
We saw the Conways (Lisa, Aidan, little Aidan, and Katie) at Sue's yesterday. Katie is one month older than LJ, and she decided about a month ago that she will not eat baby food...at all. Talk about personality! So I saw Katie eating all different kinds of foods, including Ritz crackers, apple puffs, avocado, and a bowl of spaghetti! LJ's baby food (sweet potatoes and peas in a jar) seemed bland and boring compared to Katie's feast and I wanted LJ to try some real food. I was a little nervous about giving him a cracker and some apple puffs, but Jim's apprehension was through the roof. He was nutso about it... on the edge of his seat the entire time, ready to jump up a moments notice to administer CPR:) Lisa Conway, a mother of 4 just laughed and said, "don't worry if he chokes, just flip him over, it will come out."

I think we'll wait a few weeks on the crackers, cheerios, apple puffs, etc:)

James -
By the time you are 1 your parents will let you eat off the floor, it's great. Then every so often they think you're eating something else and make you show them whats in your mouth (and its only food), it's hilarious.
