Easy eating!

Lilly

Belle and I are both exploring new foods. I'm finally getting the hang of this eating thing. Mommy and Daddy gave up on solid foods for awhile since I kept pushing it out with my tongue. Then I had several shots at my well-baby visit on Feb. 15 and they made me sick. I ran a fever from 101.9 to 102.6 for several days. Dr. Rubin said I couldn't start solid foods until after the reaction to the vaccines subsided. I measured 26 inches long (off the chart) and weighed about 13 pounds (which was normal percentile). Mommy was alarmed because my weight has gone down but Daddy reassured her that I was fine because I was resting my leg on the side of the scale and so it wasn't an accurate reading. I'm sleeping much better now. I occasionally wake in the middle of the night, but a pacifier and some music put me back to sleep. I fall asleep on my own now -- which is a big relief for Mommy.

Belle has been a little cranky lately. She fascinates me really. The tantrums she throws -- it's bizarre! I just sit and stare at her. Occasionally, I suffer injuries from her lashing out. She got frustrated last week and clawed my hand. I let her know it hurt, though! Then later she pointed to my hand and said, "Boo, boo!" like she didn't know that she hurt me! Can you believe it?
