Zachary is eating cheerios, kindof.  I strung cheerios on a ribbon tied to a toy, like I used to do for Edwin.  It's because we're busy moving stuff around and Zachary is unhappy.  I nursed him, but he's sortof bored and perpetually hungry.  So, I figured, hey... try it...  earlier this morning he was making nice progress on attempting to eat my spaghetti too.  (Yes, spaghetti per la colatione..)  I didn't even hand him the toy, I laid it on him.  He dropped the butterfly he was playing with and managed to get these cheerios into his mouth.  I agree with what the local lactation guru (Diane) says, "When they're old enough to pick/grab it up and put it into their mouths, that's when they're ready to start solids".  However, he's just about 5 months old, and theoretically he shouldn't be on solids for at least 5 weeks.  So, Michael and I won't be spoon feeding or anything like that, but if Zachary *wants* to try nibbling on food, it will have to be things he grabs by himself.  Fair is fair.
