Sweet potatoes anyone?

So today Kristin invited me (Mike) to guest blog - it's been an week of firsts for Jack, and mommy is definitely pooped and deserves a break! We seem to have an active little log-roller as of late, as Jack has mastered both the stomach-to-back and back-to-stomach maneuvers. It is cute, but he requires a little more attention than before.

Besides becoming somewhat mobile, we also implemented the modified-Ferber, or Dr. Garson (Jack's pediatrician) sleep method. While letting him "cry it out" is difficult, it bore some sweet fruit last night, as Jack slept for a combined 12 hours with only one waking (at 3am) to nurse; that included eight straight hours, a major accomplishment in our book!

Finally, to wrap up the weekend, we just gave him pureed sweet potatoes for the first time this evening -- you can view it here:



Here's Jack giving them a try...


"C'mon, WTF is this Mommy -- I asked for oatmeal!?"


"...seriously, these aren't very good."


"Whatever, just keep them coming, I'm famished!"

OMG, Jack you are so adorable when you are messy. Thank you for sleeping for mom and dad! You'll like sleep, it will give you more energy to get into things during the day! :-)
