Feeding time is either very special or very stressfull, depending upon the mood of our little guy.

Here I am feeding Isaac one of his favorites, strained organic pears. When in the mood, he wolfs it down as quickly as I can bring the spoon to his face.

You see him in his baby chair, which we keep in the dining nook. We have a thick plastic mat to protect the floor from all sorts of falling food, but it's a lost cause.

In addition to breast milk, Isaac gets a variety of organic foods (and a few non-organic ones). He's not wild about pasta, although he's okay with a spelt pasta made from lentils that's got as much protein as beef.

Most of his food has been Earth's Best brand organic baby foods: first the single vegetables and fruits, now the mixes (brown rice and spinach).

Sometimes we grate a mild cheese into his food, or add raw wheat germ. Rose also makes him a yolk-only omlette.

Today was the day that Isaac figured out how to scale a vertical surface using the friction of his palms.

He's spent the last hour getting upright on the refrigerator and pulling off the magnetic letters we'd left there.

You can tell by his state of (un)dress that we've had unusually warm autumn, even taking into account our typical Indian Summer. It's been sweltering: temperatures in the eighties. Luckily by late afternoon the breeze comes in and brings us down to a delightful mid-seventies, perfecte weather for strolling around the Castro.
