Solid food!

The little guy started rice cereal on Sunday, so he's been eating it for almost a week! The pediatrician said that he can start other foods now, too, so he might get a little beef or chicken puree this weekend. Yum!

He ate two tablespoons of rice cereal at daycare today, and they said it seemed to take the edge off of his hunger. He'd been drinking almost 20 oz. a day, so he's ready for the solids.

After he eats, he stuffs his bib in his mouth and sucks some of the rice cereal off of that. It's pretty gross but wildly entertaining. The big dog is already learning to pay attention when he's eating, so we've been crating them to avoid the little dude getting licked to pieces.

We went to the pediatrician tonight because he has thrush. Luckily we (his dad) caught it early and it should clear up in no time at all. He's not uncomfortable or anything, either, so that's good.

We're going to a chocolate festival this weekend, so I'll get to eat a lot of chocolate and the boy will get some pureed meat. Sometimes life just isn't fair.
