A Silver Spoon
Hello to everyone.
One of the many surprises Rebecca arranged for my 50th birthday was a visit from my good friend (and Best Man) Andy, or Uncle Andy as we have introduced him to Xavier. It was Andy's first visit since Xavier was delivered, and he came bearing gifts.
Here, before he really got messy, Xavier attempts using the silver spoon Andy brought, a gift Andy's mother sent via him.
Shortly after this picture was taken, Xavier—armed with his spoon—was introduced to cereal. Digging in, he covered himself, his high chair table surface, the high chair seat and back, his clothing and some of the floor with cereal. It's amazing how far he managed to spread a tablespoon of formula-soaked cereal! We think the only thing safe from the cereal barrage was Xavier's stomach; he has not figured out the whole swallow thing when a bottle is not involved.
