Today Caleb had his first snow cone. This was also his first time eating from a spoon. He had had water before from a bottle, so this wasn't so much different. We didn't put any flavor in it, so today's experience was really about two things - solids and cold. Caleb seemed to think eating from a spoon was pretty cool, and I think the cold felt good on his gums (he's been starting the teething process I think). Dr Aaron said we could start Caleb on rice cereal this month or next, but that it doesn't have any real nutrition, so it's more for practice than anything. I figure shaved ice isn't any worse, and at least it helps hydrate him!
Here is a video:
In other news, Isaac had a great first Father's Day! We had a bunch of friends over to eat burgers and hot dogs and swim! Caleb loved swimming with Mommy and Daddy and borrowing Drake's baby float!
More cute pictures from Father's Day soon!
And finally, on Sunday, Caleb started putting himself to sleep. He has always played nicely in his crib with the mobile, usually talking up a storm. But Sunday, on two separate occaisions, Caleb rolled around quietly for a bit and then fell asleep. And now, in the mornings when he previously slept with mommy after nursing, he wiggled around and complains until I put him in the pack-n-play. As soon as he is in the crib or pack-n-play, though, he rolls onto his side and goes to sleep. I guess that's how it is! I know I shouldn't complain - it takes a lot of babies months if training to do this, but I miss having him with me in the mornings!
That's all for now! Mommy is starting an incredibly busy week and half at work, and we are looking forward to seeing Nana and Gramps and Uncle David this weekend and GiGi, Papou, Bubbe, Aunt Lisa and Amanda and the cousins in Alabama next weekend! Oh, and Caleb's first plane ride!
Until next time!
