Feed Me!
Roll your mouse on and off the image to feed the baby!
Last night was Zane's second go at eating solids. We went out to eat earlier and he didn't really drink any milk during or afterwards. It had been a few hours since his last meal and Faith said "Let's try the solids." To which I thought, "he's not eating milk, why would he eat rice mush?" Silly Dad.
Faith mixed up a nice batch of the mush-o, I propped Zane-o in the chair-o, and away we went-o. I couldn't feed him fast enough! At one point I was tempted to just tip the bowl into his mouth and let him sort it out on his end. He was probably frustrated as much by his own slowness at dealing with consuming mush as he was with my perceived slowness in delivering it to him.
Here's a little clip from his first solid food fest, which I'm titling: Smoochy Lips.
And then he topped it all off with a pretty large milk chaser.

So did he sleep really well after that meal?

Now you would would be inclined to think that he did, wouldn’t you? He had a big serving of mush, a bottle of milk, and then zonked right out…only to wake up three hours later starving!! He ate a huge amount then (more than usual) and then slept for six hours and had another large bottle.
This seems to be his current system: late evening “nap” then a six hour or so sleep.

First rule of babies: They never do what they are supposed to and they never do what your friends babies did, either. ;-) Sounds like things are going well!

Need some bibs?

Got PLENTY of bibs. Really, lots. Top photo he’s wearing a shirt-colored bib. In the bottom photo I’d taken it off and tossed across room when he decided to have another go at the food.
