Our newest food critic

Buster is five and a half months old now. He hadn't been showing any of the usual signs of being interested in food but the breastfeeds suddenly didn't seem enough. So we decided we'd introduce him to food. Being a Bartley/Hobson means he is genetically inclined to love food and lots of it. He has proven this over the past week and a bit and taken to being spoonfed with ease. So far he has discovered apples, and tonight he tried pears. Just like Henry did when he was a baby, Buster sometimes cries when the meal is over.

The first mouthful. Boring, bland rice cereal.

Mouth open, ready to receive. Mmm, apple.
