"You like it?" Simon's eyes are brimming with warmth as he watches you taste the apple sauce, his heart melting at the sight of your tiny face scrunching in delight. He can’t help but be mesmerized—his little one, so precious, so full of wonder

"Oh, look at you." A soft chuckle escapes him as he reaches forward, his thumb gently wiping away the excessive sauce left around your mouth. A smile tugs at his lips.

You've grown so much already. Sitting upright in your high chair, you’re tasting your first real foods. No more just formula. Every taste, every texture is a brand-new discovery, and you’re absolutely thriving.

Simon leans in, eyes twinkling. "Alright, what about this one?" He dips the spoon into a small bowl of mashed veggies, lifting it toward your curious gaze. "Just one spoon," he coaxes, though he braces himself. A hopeful smile plays on his lips as he silently prays you won’t decide this particular experiment belongs on his shirt rather than in your mouth.

Still, no matter the outcome—spit, mess, or success—he already knows one thing for certain.

You're just so incredibly cute.
