First steps of independence

Alexander is starting on solids. When I cooked and mashed his veggies today I was sad as he was going to leave the house and get married tomorrow. I know that babies are supposed to grow up and that slow process of gaining independence is a part of it, but it feels sad to start with the first steps of it.

Fortunately, he is still too young to get married, so we have a bit of time together ahead of us (and he wasn’t that happy with the veggies :)
