I think we have a foodie on our hands

Mateus loves food!  And not just his baby food- he is infatuated with any and all food and/or drink in his visual field.  I hope his palate continues to be as open to new foods as it currently is.

                                                  Butternut Squash took a few days to like

                                                            Pears were an instant hit!

                                                              Love for avacado!
For the beginning fruits and veggies, I have been making the baby food.  It's taken me almost 7 years to really use and truly appreciate our food processor.  I've also discovered how as adults we are missing out on some good stuff. The other night I baked peaches and then put them in the food processor.  After a little taste test, I realized how good they would taste on vanilla ice cream :-)
Although I can say so far so good in both the making and eating of the food, I draw the line at making my own peas, green beans, or any other strange texture green vegetable.  The day Mateus tries peas I am really going to have to try and fake excitement for how good (bad!) they really are.  Hopefully he did not inherent my distaste for all vegetables as a child.
Here are a few other "Matues out takes" from the past 2 weeks......

                                                        Helping Daddy with the laundry

                                                   Attempted first swing ride (still to small)

                                                             Playing with his new toy

                                    No pants!  (He is not really standing but leaning against the couch)
