Too big for baby toys and baby food

Anthony is into everything these days. He loves all things not intended for children to play with. Remote control, camera, keys, cell phone, shoes, cardboard boxes, magazines, the dog dishes, toilet water, you name it, if you would rather he not play with it, that is exactly what he wants to do. Never mind that he has lots of toys scattered about my living room intended just for his entertainment. Oh no, they just aren't nearly as much fun.

I still haven't completely unpacked from our weekend away and he has figured out how to climb into the suitcase and go through it looking for new and interesting things to play with. He loves it, every time I bring him downstairs he climbs into it. Maybe I will just leave it out a little while longer. We got a package in the mail today and the empty cardboard box entertained him for 45 minutes. Climbing in and out of it and playing with the air bags used for packing.

Here he is again in the box, notice the ripped up magazine in the background. He destroyed a perfectly good toy catalog. I guess I don't need it anyway. He seems content with the box.

Here he is showing off his new hat. I've been meaning to buy him one now that it's getting cold outside. The last thing he needs is to get sick. He was at Grandma's today and came home with this on. I guess grandma got tired of waiting for me to buy him a hat. Doesn't it look so cute on him? Thanks grandma. He has also started showing a little bit of interest in non-baby foods. Bananas has always been his favorite, if you give him anything with banana in it he will eat it. Well now he is eating a real banana not just the puree from a jar. Whenever Todd eats one he spits out his pacifier (a sure sign that he wants to put something else in his mouth) and gets a few bites for himself.

Look who's crawling

Well folks it's finally happened. See for yourselves. He is still a little clumsy at it, this is after all the first time. The funny thing is that the only thing he would crawl for was his hairbrush. He didn't want the toys, just the brush. Go figure, I guess I should stop worrying about toys.

Split Pea Soup! Yum or Yuck?

I have been trying to get Tony to eat something other than baby food but so far he has no interest in anything with texture. I still try though. Tonight I made split pea soup for him and well I'll let the video do the talking. The first bite is sweet potatoes, the second bite is split pea soup.

Sorry, I know it's a little gross, but I thought it was too funny not to share.
