Reed has been learning to eat solid foods the last few weeks and it really is fun.\u00a0 We of course startd with rice cereal and oatmeal and are following the rules of introducing one food every 3-4 days to make sure he isn’t allergic to anything.\u00a0 The really fun part is that I’m making his baby food.\u00a0 It truly is so easy that I can’t imagine I will stop.<\/p>\n
The first time Ya-Ya fed Reed oatmeal she reported to me that he “ate it like a wild man”!\u00a0 I just loved that expression.\u00a0 He still loves his cereal and applesauce but wasn’t so fond of avocado or green beans.\u00a0 Yesterday on my day off I roasted a butternut squash and cooked peas.\u00a0 He seriously ate the squash like a wild man.\u00a0 I have never seen him so excited about food before.\u00a0 He probably ate 3 or 4 tablespoons and would have kept going.<\/p>\n
As a sidenote, I am finally reaching the emotional stage.\u00a0 I kept expecting to be weepy as he got bigger and started changing or at least when I went back to work.\u00a0 I got nostalgic, but never weepy.\u00a0 For some reason the emotions have hit me like a tidal wave the last 3 days.\u00a0 Every morning when I go in his room and see that he is wide awake but just laying there quietly waiting for us to be ready to get him I start to tear up.\u00a0 This is followed by a prayer of praise because I never imagined I would get such a wonderful baby and definitely never imagind I would love him THIS much.\u00a0 I love you little boy!!!<\/p>\n
