A Week of Firsts.

Last week was full of 'first' for Chase! His first Christmas, the first time he scooted all over the room, the first time he flung himself from the car seat to the ground (scared me terribly), the first time he officially, without-a-doubt raised his arms to be picked up (so precious!), the first time he attempted to eat wrapping paper, the first time he toppled the tree on top of him (and me) and the reason I am writing this blog... the first time he ate baby food.

The cereal was as bland as could be, so not to shock him and yet it still did! He's used to the sweetness of breastmilk!

Doesn't know what to think about this.

"That was disgusting!"

We've decided to wait on feeding him throughout the day and to just feed him once every day or every other day, until he is used to it- plus I jumped ahead a little bit out of excitement, he's not even 6 months yet. Poor buddy. I can't wait to introduce him to veggies and later, fruits and meats but for now this is what's I feel is best for him. I can't wait to see his face after eating one of those, he may even like it!

I am looking forward to him sleeping more because he has a fuller belly than normal! He digest breastmilk so fast sometimes, that he's back for more and more and more throughout the night! On the days we've fed him rice cereal, he's slept so much better at night. Last night he slept the longest I can remember. 9:30 pm to 7:30 am! That I am looking forward to!
