Leo: Mommy, do you know what baby birds come in?
Me: No...what?
Leo: They come in eggs.
Me: Yeah, they sure do.
Leo: And do you know what they do in there?
Me: No...what?
Leo: They say, "Ready or not world, HERE I COME, and they use their sharp beak to peck a hole. Then they POP out."

We have an eater!
At Henry's 4 month check up, Dr. McD said we could try cereal whenever he was ready. We tried at 4 mos - he wasn't ready. Crying, weeping, wailing, and gnashing of teeth. We tried again a couple of weeks ago with some bananas added - more of the same.
He has always been a big eater, but it has really increased recently. The other day he ate 9 at one sitting for me. Then, tonight, he ate 10 oz and then was famished 2.5 hrs later! So I mixed him up some rice cereal and bananas. After a few timid swallows, he got the hang of it. He was opening up like a little bird every time he saw that food coming - and smiling in between bites.
Here's hoping for a satisfied boy and many nights of long, deep sleep! And thank goodness for the bumbo - that thing is great for feeding little ones. He also likes to sit in it on the table and watch us eat our meals. Guess he'll be joining in on the fun from here on out.
This was a big day for firsts - he also rolled from back to tummy today for the first time.

I really wanted to be able to wear Henry on my back without having to have someone help me. I thought it would be hard - but it's pretty simple. It's so convenient - much more comfortable and practical than having him on my front.
