Exhibit A

Ethan definitely loves his roast veges. He really went to town on them the other night. He also had his first gagging experience. It was a bit nerve-racking, but he managed to sort it out himself. He got a little over-excited and stuffed the whole stick of roasted sweet potato in his mouth all at once, chewed for a little while and then attempted to swallow it. He went a bit red and coughed and spluttered, eyes watering, but then it went down. He then got on with things and picked up his next piece of vegetable as if the gagging episode had never happened! Needless to say, it did get our hearts racing, and caused his Dad to jump out of his chair, pull the tray off the high chair and started to get Ethan out, but before he did Ethan had sorted things on his own! Hopefully the gagging is a rare occurance! 

We have been trying to figure out how much Ethan is actually eating - not that its really a big deal this early in the piece, but it would be interesting to know. The next morning, we found out that he has actually been swallowing some of his food - we had evidence! Its funny how before kids you wont go anywhere near a dirty nappy without making a huge fuss. Once you become a parent, you can spend a fair amount of time analysing the contents of them! On this occasion, I was probably a little over-excited to find evidence of some sweet potato in there! So much so that I yelled out to let Steve know, and he came in to inspect for himself! At least I am not the only one inspecting the contents of dirty nappies!
