sweets

Our little sweetie had a lovely Valentine's Day and long, 3 day weekend with his Daddy. On Vday, he stayed in his pjs all day, ate some brown rice and took an early evening walk with his parents while watching the sun set in the brisk air. Then he took a warm bath with Mom, played with rubber duckie and went to bed. Meanwhile his parents ate veal osso bucco, risotto with peas and chocolate souffle, accompanied by a bottle of wine we found in a little wine shop in Healdsburg, CA in 2007. On Sunday we took Eddie to church for his first time. He did well and only made a few sounds when he dropped his toy. We are all looking forward to this upcoming Saturday when he will be baptized.

On another "sweet" note, Eddie started eating sweet potatoes today. So far he has eaten Earth's Best rice cereal, banana, avocado, brown rice and now sweet potatoes. And so far we haven't really noticed much change in his bowel movements other than that they are a tad thicker in consistency. I really expected the poops to change a lot more, like that they would be green after eating the avocado. So far nothing big to report on that front. But several hours after eating sweet potatoes today he spit up a little while we were reading a book, and low and behold there was some orange in the spit up! Ok, it hardly sounds like something noteworthy, but it was an indication to me that he is really eating, i.e. swallowing and consuming the food, and not just wearing it - a ton ends up on his face during the process. More on food later...gotta run as he is waking up from a nap!
