Yummy Yummy in My Tummy

Oliver has always been a good eater since he was a newborn and he continues to impress us by beginning to eat some baby cereal at 4-1/2 months. This all began with a suggestion by Oliver's pediatrician to begin"practice" eating from a spoon. So we prepared a small amount of cereal and crossed our fingers. To our amazement, it took him all of 3 bites to really get a taste for the stuff...and then we couldn't keep him away from it. Looks like Jennifer and I are in for a big eater in the family...something we're not entirely used to yet.
We also discovered, to our dismay, that Oliver is already practicing to be a bull rider. As some of you may know, bull riding is one of the most dangerous sports and we had planned to keep Oliver away from such activities for as long as possible. But it looks like the riding bug bit him young. He got the taste for it after we put him in his bouncy horse.
After he mastered that he felt ready for a more animated riding subject. So, he decided to test his skills on Stella. This is only temporary until we can afford a real bull for him to ride. *No animals were harmed during the taking of these photos, although we cannot say if they were emotionally scared from the experience.


Another thing we discovered is that Oliver has a secret love affair with the remote control and the TV. Just see how he covets his precious.
