A month or so back we started feeding Chanler “solid” food, which currently means blended fruits and veggies. He is not too picky an eater so far, but he definitely likes some things more than others. He will eat oatmeal and blended apples and pears all day long, but he will not eat more than a few bites of yams, and peas take a lot of reminding that it is time to eat 😉

He does not quite yet seem to have any idea “why” he is eating – just about anything is more interesting than eating, and he is easily distracted. Except of course when he is eating the previously mentioned blended apples! The first bite is always amusing – he screws up his face as if you had just put the most awful thing in his mouth – still have yet to catch that on camera.

Well it is Chanler’s first Halloween (not my favorite “holiday”) and we dressed him as a cowboy – I found a hat that was too cute to pass up and then Grandma found the piece de resistance – the real cowboy boots.

Chanler's Dedication

We had Chanler dedicated tonight at our church (MPPC) by the pastor that leads our couples group (and wants to be Chanler’s adopted grandma) Joanie Tankersley. After we celebrated with family and friends at Buca di Beppo in Palo Alto.

Chanler’s wonderful outfit was made by his Grandmama Hraban, because the one Jesse wanted to get was not available – Isn’t it a cute suit!! and amazingly enough Chanler did not spit up on it until after the service was over =].

Wish this was on video . . .

During our bible study group tonight, Scott was holding Chanler and randomly broke in to the children’s Sunday school song – “the B. I. B. L. E.” because Chanler was standing on Scott’s bible. Too funny, especially if you know how quiet Scott usually is.

Smile

Chanler gave us his first real (social) smile this week . . . he is SO cute!

Here he is a few days later smiling for the camera
