After being married for 8 1/2 years my cupboard now looks like this:
And my spoon drawer now looks like this: 
Last week the pediatrician said it was time to start giving Karston "real food." How anyone can call use that term for rice mush is another issue. As we went out to get our first box of rice cereal, I realized we did not have any appropriate dishes or utensils for children. For so many years Andrew and I have lived comfortably as two adults. Now I'm seeing bright plastic colors in my kitchen and I'm loving it. Having a baby truly takes over every corner of my life. Everywhere I look there are telltale signs that a baby lives in this house. Andrew and I were very happy when it was just the two of us together; we had no idea our happiness could increase this much by adding a child into the mix.
As for the rice goo.......we are getting better. After a week, Karston no longer makes a gagging sound as he spits out EVERY SINGLE BITE. At the same time he doesn't really seem to enjoy it very much. He would like to help put the spoon in his mouth, but his current lack depth perception makes it much more likely that the spoon will jab him in the eye or on the forehead rather than make it to the mouth. Oh how I love these silly little moments!
