For a while now, Roswell has been very interested in watching us eat. We knew that he would be ready to eat solids very soon. Once he started his pretend munching we got all the supplies and today was the day! We started with rice cereal. I know this is the doctor recommendation because it causes the least allergies, but WHY? it is the worst tasting stuff!
Then he tastes. Responce?? YUCK! He hated it.
We did the 3 days of rice cereal to make sure he wasn't allergic and then went straight to the good stuff - pears, applesauce, etc. A much more satisfied boy appeared.
Feeling pretty happy because he's finally getting some food and sitting with the rest of the family.
Then he tastes. Responce?? YUCK! He hated it. Which is really unusual because his brothers loved it. But then, I've learned already that Ross doesn't always do things the same way as his brothers.

Elliott showing Ross that food is yummy (sorry that there is actually food in his mouth). Elliott is actually happier too because he now gets to sit in the big chairs since he had to relinquish his reign of the high chair.
Donovan was just happy to get his picture taken.

The kids had a blast playing on the fun toys. It took a while to get us to leave to pick out our pumpkin. There were lots of pumpkins left, but we had to get the perfect one. Since it was already Halloween we had to look a while for the right one. We ended up picking 2 pumpkins to take to pay for. We get to the store and the kind lady says that the pumpkins are free today. We think they were just trying to get rid of them because nobody really wants pumpkins after Halloween, and they won't keep for Thanksgiving. It was our lucky day! She told us to take all we wanted. Yes, Mam! We took our van closer to the patch and loaded up. We calculated it afterwards and figure we got over $100 worth of pumkins and gourds for decoration, cooking, and carving. I think getting pumpkins on Halloween might be a good tradition for us to start up. Earlier I was yelling at myself for waiting until the last minute to get a pumpkin, now, not so much.
