Something mushy this way comes

Tim had his 5th checkup at the paediatrician today. Parents are happy to report that he's doing fine - weight 7980gr, height 66cm and head circumference is 43.5cm. According to the WHO growth chart he is smack bang on the 50th percentile. As Jack put it "nothing better than average". Whatever! I'm happy everything is as it should be and our little boy is happy and healthy.

Today we started solids. Why do they call them solids exactly? Germans are more honest at least and call them "mush" (Brei). Today's menu was carrots out of a jar, and our little critic gave 'em huge thumbs up. He was so excited in fact, that he started rocking his highchair so hard that it made me worried about its stability.

Here are some photos from before and after lunch, as well as some snaps with parents from dinner (thank you Lucija for the cute Mt Isa bib).

PS: before Timmy was born, pictures of smiling babies covered in mushy food always made me cringe and I thought it was pretty _off_. So yeah - to all of you without kids, who are reading this and thinking "ewww, baby covered in mush - yuk!"... I understand where you're coming from... I see things through baby-coloured glasses now, hence find it cute :)
