Daddy's

It’s been a long time coming, all five months, it seems, but it looks like you’re ready for us to start experimenting with real food. We started with the rice cereal in your milk last night and you love it! Well yeah. Mommy and I are both afraid that you’ll inherit Daddy’s food allergies, so we have to be careful. I don’t know what baby foods are out there that don’t involve some form of banana-related squish. Very soon now you’ll be getting little snacky things and munching on Cheerio’s, and I am so very, very proud of you for that. We just need to work you past this Michael Jackson crotch grab phase you’re going through at the moment (Then again, you’re a boy, I don’t know if you ever truly will). We’ve got a recipe down for now though. Your bottles are getting less formula to make room for the rice, and you’re so full when you eat now! I haven’t seen your belly puff up like that in a long while, and truth be told, you’re back to spitting up just once! I know that is a sad thing to be proud of, but for the longest time we only had the formula, and it so wasn’t enough for you …but enough about filling your belly. You’ve grown so much over the past five months; it’s hard to believe that I was so scared to hold you not too long ago. You are beautiful, baby. You are loved. Now if I can just get you to stop trying to pull off your diaper while I’m posting this, everything should be fine…
