Lily is now 6 months old, and with this landmark, she enters into the world of solid(ish) foods. We started with some rice cereal to get the ball rolling, and she took to it like she’s always eaten it. This is hardly surprising as she eats anything that comes into arms reach.
Her 6 month birthday was celebrated at Grammy’s house (Laura’s mom) and included a lovely oatmeal muffin with a candle in it. 6 months does quite warrant a cake, but we thought we should recognize the milestone somewhat.
This weekend has one more milestone. This is the first time that mom and dad have both been sick at the same time. Actually lily is a bit sick as well, but she see to be dealing with it better than her parental units. It certainly is a different experience being sick when you have a little human relying on you to change, feed and entertain her. Gone are the days of laying on the couch all day drugged to high heaven, watching b grade sci-fi flicks and horror films. Here are the days of sucking it up, doing what must be done, and hoping she naps for 4-6 hours.
