Cheerios

Evan has been a big fan of Cheerios as part of his breakfast pretty much since he started eating solid food. A breakfast session always starts with the fruit-and-mush course (a baby food jar of some type of pureed fruit mixed into oatmeal, rice cereal, or something like that), then alternates between fruit-and-mush until he pushes it away and a handful of Cheerios, then back again. This cycle is pretty predictable, and it has been going on every morning for the past 4 or 5 months.

In the last few days Evan has decided the transitions from eating mush to eating Cheerios would be smoother if, instead of us offering one or two spoonfuls of mush too many (thereby forcing him to push the spoon away and look at us indignantly... "Clearly I don't want any more of this stuff. Why can't you people figure this out? Give me the Cheerios!") he just pointed at the box of Cheerios and said "Ohhhs". Of course, we agree that this is indeed easier and takes the guesswork out of when to offer the Cheerios, so from now on that's how the morning routine will go.

Fortunately Evan doesn't just say "Ohhh", since that wouldn't show up very well on camera. He also makes an Ohhh face (very similar to the face he makes when he says "Uh-oh" after he's thrown something to the ground and expects you to pick it up... we're working on the difference between accidentally dropping something and deliberately tossing it away), which shows up in a photo quite nicely:
