After a week or so of warming up, Henry has begun scooting. He'd been moving short distances seemingly by magic- I'd turn my back on him happily playing on the floor and when I would look back a few moments later, Poof! he'd be eight feet away happily chewing on the laptop power cord- but over the last 36 hours he's suddenly put together the tools to move from room to room via an action that's 75% crawling and 25% swimming. The latest maneuver, navigating under the table and over the splayed-out table legs, earned him a milestone bonus: the first recorded finding of neglected and perfectly good food on the floor.

He won't remember this moment years from now when he scores a mostly-fresh piece of pizza off of his friend's dorm room's floor or the only 65%-freezer-burned tub of ice cream from last July's office social, but hopefully I will.

Just think, little man, just a few feet further and you would have found an even lusher jackpot: the not-quite-empty cat dish!

I would expect Joel's spawn to eat anything and everything that came across his plate (or line of scooting) no matter how fit the item is for human consumption.

So far this is true for Henry. Adelaide, not so much.

No surprise to anyone I'm sure, but Joel ate an awful lot of dog kibble growing up.

I have a photo of Joel chewing on one end of a hambone at about Henry's age, with the cat chewing on the other end.

Ahh Joel - the truth finally comes out! And I thought lasagne for breakfast was unusual!

Like father like son!
