all kinds of grown-up
Son, I know I owe you your Five Month Letter… but, it’s tough to look back on the past month when you are hitting milestones left and right! I promise - I will get to it soon. Until then here’s what’s new!
Marc set up the highchair last night and the kid totally dug it. We are now officially banned from (shield your eyes dad) eating dinner in front of the TV. Harrison can join us at the dinner table.
He also enjoyed his first real rice cereal. Eating like an old pro from a spoon.
This is extremely helpful as he has been eating us out of house and home for the past week - he increased his milk intake by at least 25%. My body has yet to get the message, so, we have been stealing some of Mr. Perfect’s (nanny-share baby #2) formula to add to the boy’s bottles during the day.
He’s just all kinds of grown-up these days. That is exciting and just a little bit sad for Marc and me. There is less and less time for cuddling as his eyes open up wider to the awesome world around him. But, seeing him become more human and less blob-like is what this whole adventure is all about.

What a big boy. I can’t wait to see him. Grandma
so cute! i see so much of aimee in him. i can’t believe he’s starting solids already. i bet you’re planning his 1st thanksgiving meal already =)
Wait, is this a Stokke highchair? I need to check it out later. I’m torn about which highchair to use but have to figure something out fast because feeding Finn in the Bumbo is starting to turn his little toes blue. I’m pretty sure that’s a bad thing.
Aimee — it gets better and better. Bittersweet is tough, I agree, but wait until the first round of toddler hugs and kisses, having conversations, seeing them laugh at something genuinely funny (and not by you tickling them)…
I want to eat him with a spoon.I used to kiss my girls so much they hated it,I want to chomp on his little face,so gorgeous!
