Harry's eating is going quite well following his apparent, and hopefully temporary, dislike for sweet potatoes. Since his introduction to peaches a week and a half ago, his mother has also tried carrots and, today, butternut squash with reportedly great success. He really seems to be getting the hang of it, though unfortunately, I haven't been around very much to witness the progress.

Since I take care of Harry at home in the mornings, I tend to stay in the lab into the evenings until after Harry's mother has given him his dinner. I've been home on a couple of occasion, and have taken some pictures and some video, but most of the time I'm not there. Of course, on the one hand, that's just fine. How many times do I need to see Harry with white and orange mush all around his mouth and on his bid? However, there is an inkling that every know and then I might be missing some big moment of Harry's day and a significant part of his development.

For better or worse, a solution seems to be at hand that will end this personal puzzlement. Harry's mother says it's time we start feeding Harry solid food twice a day. I'd do the first one, some time before noon, and she'll continue to feed him in the evenings.
