The first solid foods that babies eat is typically rice ceral. It’s basically like oatmeal, and you can mix it with breastmilk, water or milk.
Henry had his first taste of rice cereal last weekend! The whole eating experience is pretty new for babies, who have to learn how to control their tongue in an entire new way. So since then, he’s been experimenting with his tongue – too cute and more pictures of that to come!
And a video:
I’ve been conflicted about breastfeeding lately. It’s an inconvenience to pump at work, but I’m not ready to give up nursing altogether.
I decided this weekend that I’m going to stop breastfeeding during the day. I’ll maintain my 6 a.m., 6 p.m., and 8 p.m. nursing sessions, but let go of the daytime feedings.
This won’t impact Henry’s schedule during the week, as he is already being bottle-fed during that time. It just means that we’ll be bottle-feeding him during the day on the weekends.
We’ve also already introduced him to formula and we’re supplementing his bottles with about 50% formula, so we don’t need to be concerned about not having enough milk.
I’m excited, I’ve found a solution that will work well for both of us!!
Henry’s first art piece. I call it “The Mermaid and the Sailor.” The sailor sits on a rock, bereft and forlorn, as the mermaid reaches her arms out longingly for him.

My aunt went to the Grand Canyon and all I got was this cute t-shirt!
“My First John Deere”
From our lunch date with Granny Jo last weekend.
He loved hanging out with his granny. And I’d like to point out that we did not shave his head. He’s just went bald on that side of his head. What hair he does have growing back is blonde, so you can barely see it.
Henry’s five months old!
Here are some cute recent videos of Henry in his doorway jumper.
