First of all, I think if you have any video of your baby you must have a video of your baby eating. So this is the prerequisite baby eating video.

But in addition to that, we are starting to try new foods out on Luke, and are taking cues from people around us about age appropriate fare.

For instance, Luke's 10-month old friend Max is loving hummus and gnawing on small pieces of wheat toast. Seems about right for a 10-month old.

And then there's the 5-month old girl whose Dad we met this weekend at Whistler.

While admiring Luke's smile he spoke enthusiastically--and without prompting--about the mesh feeding bag with a handle (it IS great; Luke eats mango and banana in the mesh bag). But anyway, this guy was proud to tell us that his 5-month old baby girl eats moose and deer in the mesh bag.

This is the same guy that, just hours later at a gas station, parked so close to our driver's side door that Keith had to climb in through the passenger side. After taking his time to pull in just right, mesh bag guy laughed with his friends, pointed to the line with his tongue wagging and a "ha ha you're a sucker" look on his face. I guess he didn't recognize us. In fairness, we WERE parked very close to his line, but that's just because the guy on the other side of us was over his line, so we didn't do it on purpose, unlike mesh bag guy.

Anyway, I can assure you that Luke will NEVER eat gamey meat from a mesh bag at 5 months old (or probably ever), but he is definitely enjoying his carrots, quinoa... and squash!
