Owen and his Birthday cake

So, after Owen was sick on his birthday (and in no condition to eat his birthday cake) Becky decided to freeze some of the cake so that we could pull it out later when Owen was feeling better. So this week Becky thawed the cake and we let Owen eat his birthday cake (come on, we weren't going to be cheated out of that moment)!

Now, Owen has turned into a bit of a picky eater.. he really likes his pretzels, and bananas, and the various baby foods that he is given, but he's not eating much else (for example, he'll eat sweet potato baby food, but not sweet potatos, he'll eat green bean baby food, but not green beans, etc etc).

When we put the cake down on his tray, we weren't sure what to expect... He doesn't like to eat new things.. but, what kid doesn't like CAKE! Owen proceeded to play with his cake for 10-15 minutes... moving the pieces around and not putting them in his mouth! Eventually he took a test bite and decided that it wasn't so bad after all, and he ate several pieces.

Here is a link to a video I took with our digital camera.. It's in Quicktime format, so if you don't have quicktime on your computer, you'll have to go to www.Apple.com and download it.
