Zander Eats Rice Cereal

Yesterday was the first day Zander had rice cereal. My camera battery was dead yesterday--so these pictures represent the 2nd time Zander ate rice cereal. We did however get the first time on video--so the memory isn't totally lost. Zander ate rice like he has been doing it all his life. We decided to pull the trigger and try him on solids because he drains four 8oz bottles a day and is still not consistently sleeping through the night. We will see what happens now.

Both Tyler and Zander went to urgent care over the weekend. Tyler for a nasty cough and Zander for pink eye/ear infection. Hopefully both of them will start feeling better soon. However because Zander was at the doctor we now know that at 5 1/2 months he weighs in at 17 lbs. 13 oz. Way to go Zander! Here are some of the things that Zander does:

• Rolls from his back to his stomach, in one direction
• Smiles all the time!
• Loves watching his sister be goofy.
• Gives mommy high fives
• Giggles at his own reflection
• Loves bath time
• Hates when we wipe his nose
• Has 4 teeth (two bottom, two top)
• Grabs at his toys and plays with them
  

"Where is my food?!"

Yummy!

"Look Zoey! I am a big kid like you!"

Zoey is very proud of Zander.
