Eating

So the other day I was walking through the dining room and I saw this:


Nate had taken one bite out of each cracker and lined them up. I see more of me in him each and every day.


We also have ventured into "solid" food with Graham. As I may have mentioned (many times) Graham has not been a great sleeper for me. About a month ago he was still waking up 3 or 4 times during the night. Yeah, really annoying, so the doctor suggested that he might be hungry, so I should try cereal. Low and behold, he WAS hungry. Right away he started only waking up once at night. As usual is has been quite messy. Just recently he has decided that he would be able to eat without putting his finger in his mouth each time, so that is an improvement. I think that the first time we fed him cereal was on April 12th. We were actually at the Olive Garden, and that was my way of trying to get him to make it through the evening. Since then, we have started on fruit and vegetables. I always thought that I would not start solids with Graham before 6 months on account of him being so big and everything. I guess I didn't count on my milk supply being low and him starving right under my nose. Oh well. He's happy, and I guess that's all that matters.

That's hilarious with the crackers. Oh little people! And how crazy that that's all it took to get him to sleep better. I'm so glad it worked. I'm sure you're a much better rested, happier person.
