Adventures of the Herbivore Stage 5 months...



Herbie has officially started his solids. Today he had a whole jar of peas. After many
failed attempts to get him to swallow, he is now an official Herbivore :)

He still has not learned how to crawl or hasn't said any words yet.
He laughs and smiles all the time.

I have been a bit too busy to detail his adventures, but I uploaded some clips to keep you
entertained.
