 JK> That's neat.  Both times I had to switch after about 6 months because

That's about the time he started trying out foods... although he didn't
actually make the changeover until he was a few months older... 

 JK> I was in the hospital. Once with appendicitis (that hit on the second
 JK> night run of a play I was in for our village's Bicentennial
 JK> Celebration)

Such timing... ;)

 JK> and the 2nd time with MS crap ... not so serious then, but
 JK> the local docs were unsure of "what" I had with constant vomiting and
 JK> vertigo... it was of course the MS. And since then of course I have
 JK> constant supply of antivert around hehe. 

Sometimes there are good solutions available... ;)  And of course one
learns...  (G)

 JK> I remember one "cereal" disaster that was so funny... I'm sure
 JK> whichever kid it was didn't consider it a disaster though haha.  I
 JK> think it was my son ... Whichever kid it was just plopped the whole
 JK> bowl of cereal upside down on his/her head Lol  I do remember laughing
 JK> like crazy that day. :) 

Better to laugh than to cry... or to throw a fit... :)  Rob just spit it
out and made such a disgusted face... I had to agree with him that it
didn't taste like food...  ;)

 >> haha.. yes.. or the picky taste of a cat at least.  He would go

 > him, ya know... ;)

 JK> Yes, it's true!  He was used to a variety and forced the issue haha

I suppose you might have forestalled him by just having a selection
always available... but that might have backfired, too... :)

 >> In early September we're going to Ron's Aunt's house up in the
 >> catskills for her 100th birthday.. amazing to me :) :)
 > That's an important milestone..  Still physically and mentally active,
 > is she...?

 JK> Yes, she is.  She was an Army nurse in WWII.. her niece did the
 JK> neatest thing with the invitation.  It's a postcard (larger than
 JK> standard size) with a picture of Ron's aunt in her U.S. Army Nursing
 JK> Uniform from way back.. beautiful picture.

That is neat...  :)   She sounds like a really neat lady, too.  :)  I'm
sure the whole family will enjoy her birthday party...  :)

 >> I think I'll bring a fancy cake.. not sure which kind yet.. I've got
 >> time to play with some ideas though.
 > Just have to find something that travels well... or that can be
 > assembled when you get there... :)

 JK> I'll probably do it all here and then transport it.  I have a "cake
 JK> taker" kind of tuperware thing that protects them quite well.  :) 

Sounds like that should work fine..  :)

 JK> Right now I'm thinking about making a HummingBird Cake:
 JK> It's great cake.. It's a large cake too so it's good for a crowd. :) 
 JK> I can make it gluten free if I care to, though I think I'll skip that
 JK> for this event. 

That does sound good..  :)  Will there be people there that might
appreciate having something be gluten free, though...?

... Old bakers never die, you just can't get a rise out of them!
