Food, sitting up, what's next?

It has been a busy week for Joshua. On Monday he tried his first "solid" food. It was rice cereal which he ended up wearing. I don't think he actually ate anything, but he had a ball spitting or rather grinning it out all over the place. He was sitting in his bumbo and enjoyed splattering it on top of the tray. I think we all had some fun and Matt and I took turns videotaping it. A few days later we tried again and this time he did much better. He actually ate some of the food. Although to be honest he enjoyed chewing on the spoon more than eating the food. We will keep at it and pretty soon he'll be eating stage 1 baby food!Joshua also spent this week perfecting his sitting up skills. He's gotten pretty good at it. He sits straight up for awhile then manages a forward slump. I'm surprised how quickly he went from trying to sit up to actually doing it. Now he has more fun playing with his toys. Of course when he gets tired he turns into a noodle. Then I pick up my snuggle bear for some quality time.
"Hi Hardy! Want to play?"
