Jack came down with his second cold, just a week or two after he got over his first one. I’ve just come down with it myself. Blah. It is 2:00, and Jack has napped for a half hour since getting up at 7:30. He is one tired and cranky boy today.
Two nights ago, he had one of his miracle sleeps, and slept from 12 – 7:30! Of course, I kept waking up, wondering what was going on. But then last night he woke up at 3, instead. It is such a mystery to me.. what causes him to wake up at 3, or 4, or 5? Why does he sometimes manage to get himself back to sleep, and sometimes he won’t go back to sleep until I feed him? If only I could ask him.
We gave him his first “solid” food on Sunday, rice cereal mixed with formula. He seemed eager to try it then, though I am not sure how much he actually ingested. We’ve also started trying out a sippy cup with water.
Since then, he hasn’t been so keen on it. Not sure if I’m just timing it wrong, or what. I managed to pump a little milk the morning after he skipped his middle of the night feeding, and tried mixing it with that instead, but he had a similar reaction. He’ll accept some of it willingly enough, but doesn’t seem enthused. I think I’ll try some other food next, like banana or avacado. Anyway we took a little video of his first experience.
Jack is rolling around on his alphabet mat right now, a little bit upset. I’ll try putting him down for a nap again soon. Chris isn’t coming home tonight til after Jack goes back to bed. It’s gonna be a looooong day.
