Sitting up - with a little help from my friends: Sometime last week, Yo started sitting up for a few seconds without toppling over. This week he got better at it, and maintained his balance for a little longer. You can tell when he's about to go down - the drunk sailor sequence will begin.Rolling over: A couple days ago he was on his back, and I went to another room for a second. When I got back, he was on his tummy, looking around for some help to get back to status quo. Two days later, we're still awaiting a repeat performance.
Starting on solids - rice cereal: Gone are the good old days when parents mashed up a banana and fed it to their eager infant. Our journey was a little more involved. We prepped for opening night with several hours of reading, phone consultations, shopping (for bibs, spoons, rice cereal), disinfecting the high chair which had been awaiting its inauguration in the garage, disinfecting the items we bought for the big event, making sure the camera was charged .... phew.
It took about 30 minutes for Yo to down the one tablespoon of cereal. But it was, ahem, SOLIDly entertaining. He insisted on eating his bib, grabbing the bowl and making just the most comical faces at every spoonful. One spoonful (a small one, thankfully) was deposited in his eye and about a quarter of the bowl dribbled down is chin and onto the bib, but overall, he seemed to love rice cereal and momma and dada couldn't have been more thrilled.
All done!
