WOOHOO! It appears Justin's repertoire of foods has increased to 7! At 8 months, he can now eat applesauce, pears, peaches, sweet potatoes, rice krispies, rice chex, and rice cakes.
OK - maybe 7 is pushing it, as the krispies and chex are pretty much the same thing. But the rice cakes are new as of tonight. He LOVED gnawing on those tasteless little frisbies. I honestly don't think they're good for much more than target practice - but they were the most fascinating treat on his dinner tray. Unfortunately, once rice cakes are saturated in baby saliva, they turn into the gummiest mess - that, once dried, is quite similar to concrete.
I'm still concerned about some sort of wheat/gluten allergy/intolerance though - somehow Justin managed to get a saltine over the weekend (I think a little Jacob-fairy delivered it to a certain baby brother). The next day was poop-a-palooza - complete with raging rump rash. I'm hoping that his tummy is just really finnecky - but if it's still like this when he's a year old we're heading for allergy testing.
In the meantime, I'm stocking up on tasteless little frisbies and getting a new scraper for the concrete on the dinner tray.
