What a Champ!

Update on the boy:
Last night he went to bed at 6:30 pm, woke up and cried when we put Emily to bed at 7:30, but then slept all the way until 6:00 am! No night feedings! And, it gets better - I fed him in the morning and put him back in bed so I could go running (expecting Joseph to get him up), and he went back to sleep until 9:30! He might be sleeping so much because he is going through a growth spurt, but I am very encouraged by the 12 hour stretch between feedings.

This might be related, but he just started eating solids. Well, baby food solids. I was pretty determined to hold off until around 6 months, but he seemed so interested and eager whenever we ate that I gave it a try. He loved it. It was a totally different experience from when we tried it with Emily as a baby - she never took to pre-prepared baby foods. The first food she really ate was mashed potatoes. Caleb, on the other hand, loves rice cereal, bananas, and carrots. And that's all we've tried so far.
