Rice Cereal

Tonight was Toby's first experience with rice cereal in the hopes that he will sleep for longer stretches at night. I used a bowl and a rubber covered spoon and got it all ready to go. Toby took right to it. He in fact got mad when when the spoon didn't get to his mouth quick enough! Tyler was underway so we set up Skype so that he and Grammy Mar could be part of it all the way on the east coast. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that he will sleep through the entire night tonight and that this will be the "magic" thing that will help him sleep longer at night. I can't believe my little guy is almost 5 months old. He has recently discovered his feet and are grabbing them and playing with them, and so excited when he realizes again that they are his feet! He loves his time at Billies and laughs when you ask him if he got to see Billie that day. He's vibrant and full of life, smart and full of personality. I think that when he's 5 years old we're gonna have a little ball of energy and challenge on our hands because he's gonna want to know about everything and go everything and be everything and explore everything. Parenthood is such a new thing every single day, and just when you think you've got it all figured out, there's something new that pops up.
