Jonah loves sweet potatoes. He growls and mumbles and babbles while he chows down. It’s awesome. I wish I could figure out how to add video to this dang wordpress site.

At any rate, sweet potatoes have been a big hit. Eating, in general, is a highlight of Jonah’s day. He didn’t have any solids yesterday – for no good reason – and not only did he demand a gigantic bottle before he’d lay down for bedtime, but he woke up at 2 am for another big bottle. That was painful. We won’t be skipping any days of solids for Mr. Baby.

I think we’re gonna move on to peas next. We’ll likely mix them with avocado to cut some of the sweetness. I’m tickled to get out the baby food cookbooks, though honestly: steam, mush, feed. There’s not a lot of room for creativity in the first several weeks of solids. We’re definitely introducing one food at a time, just to be cautious, since he’s just five months (tomorrow!).

He rolled from his back to his tummy yesterday! He didn’t manage to pull the squished arm out from under his little torso, but he tried good and hard. He finally gave up and whined for help.

AND! He found his feet. I was putting away groceries, looked over, and he was all grabby with his toes. He was very pleased with himself. Me too! Next thing ya know, he’ll be whistling and snapping his fingers!
