First, let me state for the record, that it is Suburban Mommy’s hand you see holding the bottle. I would never let a baby drink beer. I was, however, the one holding the camera. Does that make me an accomplice?
It started when Thing 3 put his fingers in the bottle, then put his fingers in his mouth. Note the look of wonderment, surprise, and joy, as if to say This is way different from my usual bottle.
From there, he decided he wanted the whole bottle, so he could get a real taste.
Finally, here’s the look after getting a taste. Judging from the strong grip he kept on the bottle, he liked it. And after a few more of these, he took an unbelievable nap!
I just want to eat those little cheeks!!! Adorable!
He LIKES it?
Oh boy are you in trouble!
You better find a safe hiding place for your stash of beer.
Thank God, I thought I was th only one doing this What surprises me, and tells me most parents seem to have lost their IQ, is how upset people are over this. My 4-year old son tasted beer and wine years ago and kind of like it( not any longer though). I find the best way of getting my kids interested in something is saying “No!” for a very long time.
Does anyone seriously believe there is damage to a child because of tasting 11 drops of wine or beer? I doubt we’re turning them into alcoholics by doing this.
What beer is that anyway?
Absolutely, reverse psychology works. Let them try it and they’ll never want again.
The beer is Saranac. He has good taste.
These photos are great! Would you mind submitting them to Babies with Beer so we can feature him on our blog?
Reported to local police
gave it a second report to local authorities endangering the welfare of a child
Good job Jeff and Joe!
OP: You should be ashamed to have allowed your baby to ingest poison……
Jeff and Joe are idiots. Look at how long ago this was? You guys think you’re being a couple of white knights but you just plan to start sh*t over nothing, which nobody wants, not even the cops because they have better things to do.
So please get a life, and realize that most people taste beer/alcohol at an extremely young age. We don’t need you two spreading your prude ways all over.
Seriously? I hope the cops give some kind of ticket to Jeff and Joe for wasting police time with a two and a half year old photo that shows a baby holding a bottle, never while the mom’s hand is off it.
Die in a fire and leave this world a better place, thanks.
Before this gets too out of hand…I sometimes take poetic license in order to make blog posts more interesting. The part about him tasting and the resulting nap may have been exaggerated.
I’m pretty sure joe and jeff are joking. If you’re wondering were this traffic came from 2 years later, its more than likely because of this: http://www.cleveland.com/nation/index.ssf/2010/08/more_things_to_avoid_on_facebo.html
And a comment on digg linked to this page.
Personally I think sending either you or the mother of that child to jail is just a waste of time and money.
I love it and do you teach him how to smoke a cigarette with you two?
