Solid Foods!

So a little while ago I asked for help on facebook about Eli's continual night waking. I was getting exhausted but couldn't do anything about it. I couldn't let him cry at night because he would never calm down--just cry himself hoarse, and keeping us awake. Well, solid foods seemed to do the trick. He is sleeping so much better, and longer, only waking up once between 4 and 5:30 to eat. Soo much better!

To make the introduction to solids easier, I let him sit and play in his high chair a few times, before actually trying to feed him. Here is a cute picture of my boy, doing just that.


And of course we had to capture the big event on camera.

That face is great! At least he's giving it an honest try!

yay! Did you start on rice? Try Oatmeal... he might like that better. My kids always liked oatmeal way better than rice.
