We started Lex on solids a few weeks ago
\n and I don’t think I ever documented it anywhere. We started him
\n on rice cereal and he didn’t have any problem with it. I think
\n his belly was grumbly for the first day or two, but he loves
\n the cereal and gobbles it up. Today I gave him some oatmeal
\n (baby oatmeal, not Quaker Oats :) ). He likes that even more. I
\n can’t say I blame him, it certainly looks and smells better to
\n me. It’s fun introducing new foods to him. He seems to like
\n eating (and playing with the food and smearing it all over).<\/p>\n
We also started giving him a sippy cup
\n with water in it. He like to play with the cup and gum it, and
\n sometimes he even manages to suck on it enough to get water
\n out. He doesn’t seem to like water much though :) He always
\n makes a yucky face and spits it out. He keeps it down better
\n when I give him water with a straw. I still don’t think he
\n likes it, but at least he keeps it down. <\/p>\n
As Lex gets older it’s fun watching his personality start
\n to come out. He’s starting to develop preferences for toys, he
\n is an attention hog (which I think is common of babies) and he
\n loves to laugh. He has the most contagious laughter. Sometimes
\n we know what he’s laughing at (like if I’m making funny faces
\n at him) and sometimes we don’t. He thinks Alan is the funniest
\n person in the world though and loves to laugh at Alan – even
\n when he isn’t doing anything at all. Alan can walk into the
\n room and Lex will look up at him and start laughing with big
\n belly laughs. For no apparent reason. Only 4 months old and
\n already idolizing his daddy :)<\/p>\n
Anyway,
\n not much going on, just a quick update.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
