We gave Porter his first solid food today. It is, scandalously, two weeks ahead of his 6 month mark, but for many reasons we decided he is really ready & forged ahead. As we did with Matilda, we offered up avocado as his first food and he seemed pleased. Porter wolfed it down with no problem, eating more than I expected even. Matilda was over the moon to feed him finally, and after only one very gaggy-bite did a really good job spoon-feeding him.
In every video we took of Porter eating Matilda was chattering away. For this particular one, if you listen carefully, you can hear her repeatedly asking, "Does anyone need to use the bathroom? Does anyone need to use the baño?"
In other milestone news, Porter also pulled himself up to standing for the first time today. He has been obsessed with holding our fingers & standing lately, but today was the first time he grabbed onto something (the laundry basket) & just hoisted his big self up. Very impressive. Impressive, that is, until he immediately crashed back down and was then very unhappy. Now Porter just needs to work on balance to go with the strength.
