It began with pumpkin...

Danny fed Henry his first solid 'meal' last night, if you can call it that. He had a tablespoon of pumpkin puree mixed with breastmilk. Danny said he did really well, eating it all and not spitting any of it back up. Thankfully Danny changed his nappy this morning! Fiber works quickly on little bodies!

A small victory for this mummy

I have been trying with the sippy cup lately and to no avail. On a whim today, I tried the Medela bottle that comes with the pump and hey presto! With almost no argument, H lugged down one whole ounce of milk from a bottle! In case of emergency in the future, or just because I am going back to work (boo hoo) in January, at least I know he can take a bottle.

Weekend in Nashville

We had a fantastic time with our good friends The Vinsons this weekend in Smyrna, TN. The drive up seemed to take forever since we had to stop half way to feed Henry and let him out of the car seat for an hour or so, but all in all it wasnt so bad. H slept most of the way just waking up to eat in Jackson. He was rather good, which is always a treat. Talking of treats, Summer and I got to go out, into the real wide world Saturday when our lovely men-folk had the boys. We spent lots of our husbands hard earned cash on baby clothes and realised at the end of our outing that we had been to three baby stores and Whole Foods. Whilst Whole Foods is always a treat, and baby clothes are cute, that is pretty sad. But we had a great time, so who cares!

In fact, we bought Henry and Jay the same outfit, in different sizes of course! And you just know that we will be getting yelled at in twenty years when these pictures of our little twinkies re-surface! And let me preface by saying again that no, Henry is not a giant baby, Jay was born 5 days after Henry at just 2 lbs 7 oz, 13 weeks before his due date. He is now a healthy looking 8lb or so young man that has a wonderful personality!

Frustrated

I am frustrated.

I have never spent 2 hours at the opticians, especially when there is nothing wrong with me and my prescription didnt change.

I also do not like the optician. I think he is a sleazy, stuck up frat boy that never grew up.

Our apt was for 835am. I didnt think it would be that bad, even though nap time is at 9am. I figured we would be home by 930am at the latest. I mean seriously, how long can it take to look at some letters on a board. Well they didnt see us til 915am, ridiculous. Then they kept fitting other people in around us. Poor Henry was ever so good but obviously aggravated that he wasnt asleep. He past out on the way home, instantly. We didnt get home util 1045am. Ridiculous.
