Sometimes being a mom is a super messy job. Yesterday after Dylan refused to nurse for the 4th time I decided it was time to try a little rice cereal. Maybe he is giving me the clue that it is time for solids. I went in the kitchen and warmed up a pumped bottle, added the contents to about 2 tablespoons of rice cereal, and presented the “delicious” dish to Dylan.

Dylan was not pleased. After many failed and very messy attempts he finally took a bite that actually stayed in his mouth. He kicked his feet with excitement, and this little one has pretty good aim. He kicked the bowl right out of my hand and sent the rice cereal/ mommy milk mixture all over Mommy.  Lovely, and a bit icky. I finished feeding Dylan what was left in the bowl,got him in a new outfit, and grabbed a change of clothes for me 😉  Time to find a raincoat and attempt another solid feeding today.

Yesterday I brought down a container of baby friendly toys for Dylan to play with. Thade spotted a book that we used to read when he was a baby. He picked up the book and said “I will read to Dylan”. Thade is an excellent teacher, and Dylan was very content to listen to his big brother teach him all about the barn yard animals.

Today I have yet another migraine, and I’m just not feeling well at all. You know what that calls for, a Homemade Vanilla Iced Coffee or two 😉

Today Thade was up bright and early at 6:45 a.m. Dylan is FINALLY down for a nap. Dylan has been pretty grumpy the last week. I have take him to the Doctor next week for his six month check up. Maybe she can shed some light on his grumpiness. He is also due for four more shots, so I don’t think that will help with the grumpiness at all.

I’m off to finish that second Iced Coffee, and take a little rest on the couch.
