Eating! The first mouths of solid food!

Chubby Caleb started his crusade on getting even chubbier by starting on his solids on 5th Nov, 2005. (This photo was taken on 6th Nov, on his 3rd meal). He absolutely loves the breakfast cereals. In fact, nowadays, he has come to correlate the bowl/plate that we use to feed him with the tasty food, such that when he sees the bowl/plate, he goes absolutely berserk, calling for it, stretching towards it, and swinging his arms madly, all at once! Every mouthful is followed by a small yell for more, and sometimes we can't even keep up with him. He loves banana cereal for breakfast, chicken cereal for lunch and now takes to porridges too.
I personally think that the only reason why he is not exploding is because he is such an active kid as well. Always now crawling all over the place (you'll get to see more photos of it some days later), clammering up either pillows or daddy/mummy, going after toys, sticking things into his mouth... losing some of what he takes in through high metabolism and perspiration, lots of perpiration. :)
Most babies start to lose their momentum for growth once they can crawl and walk, so we shall see...
