We also gave Luke a Ritz cracker for the first time over the weekend, and he LOVED it. It's not exactly "baby food," and we really just wanted to see what he would do. He got so mad when we tried to take it away from him. He's still kind of picky with food. We are trying to give him more variety of textures and flavors. He tolerates new things, but isn't wild about them. Yesterday we tried ground up chicken mixed with babyfood and he made his usual "ick" face and refused further spoonfuls. We're working on it.
He's also learning how to pull up on the furniture! He can reliably get himself to a kneeling position, but not standing all the way up. He's so proud of himself.
He's also a very vocal baby! He's always baby babbling if not screeching (in both glee and annoyance).
