More and more my baby is looking and acting like a little boy than like a little baby. When Megan was in town last weekend, we looked at cute baby outfits in the stores and I realized that the most adorable little baby stuff (such as booties) would now look ridiculous on Benjamin. It's a bit sad that he's past the sweet little baby phase but it's also exciting where he's going. Just this past week he's had a few milestones. He had meat (pureed of course). He gobbled up "Pears & Chicken" and seemed pleased with "Sweet Potatoes & Turkey." He also had string cheese in little pieces yesterday. I hear that Matthew was eating string cheese while feeding Benjamin and he seemed to be taking quite an interest. Turns out he liked it. And a few days ago we decided to see if Benjamin would sleep at night without being nursed to sleep (we figured that's a good skill to have) so I've begun nursing him slightly earlier in the evening, then doing bath and pajamas, and rocking him to sleep. Some nights he fell asleep in my arms; others he was still awake when Matthew took him to bed. All nights he fell asleep on his own (no crying at all) and stayed asleep all night. Go Benji!
Benjamin's trip home from the hospital.
Same outfit, about 6 months old.
One last wearing before I packed it away in a memory box.
i sincerely do not know what you are doing here. are you lost? were you
looking for your delicate calico cat, and did you follow her up two flights of stairs
to this room? she is not here. she was here, yes. we gave her a warm bowl of milk, we talked with her about campaign finance reform for a time, and then she bid us good day. i believe she was
going to the post office two blocks down, but i don't quite recall.
for surely you did
not find your way from prinsiana, the least traveled site on
the internet. if you did, though, perhaps you are looking for humor. perhaps you are looking for profundity. perhaps you are looking for answers.
i'm sorry, but you shall go naught-for-three.
