Solids

My little man tried SOLIDS for the first time! I had taken him to the doctor for his first cold, boo. And I told her he was ready for solids, so she said we should just go ahead and start since he's about to be 6 months soon. I was so excited that I strolled him next door to the HEB and picked up some rice cereal pronto! I took some great video of his not-so-enthusiastic response, but it was too large to upload so you have to make do with these photos unless you wanna come visit and witness this cuteness in action!



























Anthony doesn't seem to think that the baby rolling around is his diaper is as cute as I do...so when Daddy's away, the baby will play...in his diaper! Here's a little play time from this morning :)













Not sure if I mentioned the fact that we got little Anthony a car. I know, I said I'd make him get a job and earn it himself, but at least he is paying for his own insurance. Ahem, ok, enough kidding around. LOOK AT THIS CUTIE PIE!









Adjusting his mirrors.






















And I couldn't help myself, I have to take some photos of him right before I head out to weddings because I just miss his little face so much. I feel sorta like the Grinch when his heart swells so big that it breaks the little thingy. Every time I see a picture of the baby I just swell up with love, and sometimes get a little teary, even if he's just upstairs for a nap! Crazy mommy hormones.











In case you're curious, yes, that is a dish towel we're using as a burp rag. Time to do laundry!






Back to the solids, he has had cereal once to twice a day for 5 days now. He's been doing very well, consuming more and more each time. I went ahead and gave him a little avocado, and he doesn't seem too thrilled with it. He'll still eat most of it, but it's pretty funny to see all this green stuff coming back out of his mouth. Actually it's kind of funny to see green stuff going INTO his mouth. He only had milk up until a few days ago, and now he's a big boy! I told Anthony that I was proud of the baby but also sad because he's growing up so fast. It seems like we JUST brought him home from the hospital. And Anthony said that he wanted to take back his previous statement where he said he'd be glad when the baby grew up and wouldn't really miss the baby stage (namely the neediness), but once he saw him take that big step towards being an independent person...it was just too much. He said he wants the little man to stay a baby!! He'll always be my baby :)
