Apples and Pasta

Good news! Sam finally ate some other foods that I tried giving him over and over again. On Friday he had his first bowl of pasta - Italian pasta, actually these are for babies and are called Pastina because they are tiny little pastas. He used to dislike the texture of it and spit it right out. Now he loves it especially mixed with butternut squash.
Last week he also started eating apple pieces. He already loved his apple-pear-carrot mix with yogurt and oats. Now we can have some in-between snacks of healthy foods and not just Ernie and Bert cookies.
His new moves are to sit on things that are his height, for instance, under the movable kitchen island. He sits at the edge of the metal shelf and eats his apple pieces or cookies. He also likes to sit on the steps of our little terraced garden or a yoga cushion in the house. It is really cute how he does it. He walks in front of the "seat", turns around and then slowly backs up.
