Food, Glorious Food!

Can you imagine how utterly crazy it must be to be a five-month-old baby discovering the world? Take a stroll along some leafy streets, for example.

To you and I...trees on a sunny day. 

To William: "Wooah! Amazing swaying brilliantly-bright gigantic rustling lifeforms in front of a huge, blindingly bright even-more-gigantic big thing (the sky) higher up!" 

The looks on his face as he experiences life's surprises for the first time are just delightful. 

Yesterday a squirrel scrambled noisily and unexpectedly around a tree trunk about five feet from where William and I were walking. My reaction: "Woah, that was surprising."

William's reaction: "OH MY GOD! DID YOU SEE THAT, DADDY? IT WAS LIKE A TINY LITTLE SMALL HUMAN THING WITH A FURRY CURLY THING COME OUT OF ITS POO-END! AND IT WAS CLIMBING UP ONE OF THOSE BRILLIANTLY-BRIGHT GIGANTIC RUSTLING LIFEFORMS!

Suffice to say, William's first encounter with that delightful stuff we call 'food' was similarly entertaining. Here his is tucking into a few spoonfuls of rice cereal mixed with mum's milk (his sole other food to date!).
