Yep, turns out I was completely off when I guesstimated his weight at over 18 lbs at 5 months.  Turns out the whole weigh yourself holding baby and then without holding baby doesn’t work that well when your scale’s battery is on the fritz.  Also turns out I hadn’t really lost those 4 lbs like I thought I had.  Stupid battery :/

 

Anywho… this little guy is enjoying the rice cereal now.  Even after our little “incident” involving less than fresh milk.  Another story for another time, but I will tell you I’ve firmly placed myself ahead of everyone to take home the “Mother of the Year” award.  Sheesh.  Tomorrow we’ll be busting out some veggies to try.  I’m thinking with him I’m going to start with the green veggies first, in hopes that he’ll take to them more than Izzy did.  With Izzy we started with sweet potatoes and carrots, and after that the kid wouldn’t go green.

 

He has become a happy screamer.  The boy likes to hear himself talk.  He totally gets that from my dad.  He’ll be perfectly content playing around and then will start yelling at the top of his lungs, laughing at himself when he’s done.  Which is perfectly ok at home, not cool at the restaurant 😀

 

He also got in some snuggle time with Grandma who came down to visit!
