Rice Cereal and Baby Oatmeal have replaced Milk and Milk. The little man is really a little man now as he's eating food that (theoretically) we could all eat too. Here he is pretending to not enjoy every grainy bite. The trick we're using so far is to try to get him to mimic what we're doing.... which means constant sounds of "mmmm" and fake chewing over and over again until he does the same.
I've been excited for this phase of his babyhood to begin because (theoretically) it's supposed to coincide with him having a fuller belly, and thus sleeping more. So is it working? Let's just say I'll need to continue covering the bags under my eyes with copious amounts of makeup. His record for continuous sleep remains a paltry 4.5 hours. His average is 3-4 hours at a time. But have no fear, if this oatmeal stuff doesn't do the trick, Thanksgivingis just around the corner, and I'm currently grinding turkey into a mealy mushy mix that's dripping with extra tryptophan! Get ready Sebastian, I'm sure it will be delicious!
AWW!! He is getting so big! Congrats on eating food Sebastian!
