Chili and avocados

(from the jojos archive)

Today Aiden had eight of his closest friends over to play. Well okay, the truth is that is all of his friends, at least all of his friends that are under one. Anyway, I think our living room is too small for that many infants. We had fun though. The moms polished off a pot of chili, so all the babies are having chili milk about now! They are getting to the age where they want to grab each other's toys. Sharing is a long way off. They can all sit up pretty well (Except for the two new girls, Ruby and Vaughn who are only 6 weeks old.) and the older ones are starting to crawl. The age span of the boys is only 6 weeks and Aiden is on the young end of that. Which means that there is possibility of crawling in our house IN 6 WEEKS! We had to pick up a few girls for our group since Violet has had to go to daycare on weekdays (despite Abby's valiant efforts to stay home longer).
Today Aiden also had some avocado. This morning Jon hollered out, "this is the end of the baby poops!!" as he was changing Aiden. I took this to mean he had just had such a big poop that he was never going to need to poop again. What Jon really meant was that the last 3 days of rice cereal and bananas had made there way through and these were no longer baby poops but little boy poops. We are considering quitting the use of cloth diapers! His food repertoire now consists of rice cereal, oatmeal cereal, banana, prunes, apples (didn't treat him so well though), and now avocado. Next will come sweet potato and peas. Then we can hopefully start with some finger foods. That's when the real fun starts!
