What's on the menu?



Prunes are on the menu at every meal. Evan went 11 days without having a dirty diaper. We started rice cereal and first foods (sweet potatoes and sweet peas) in the previous two weeks. The pediatrician said this was a common issue and that a child he's recently seen is on a two-week regularity. He is getting comfortable with the process of moving food around in his mouth and swallowing it. I mix the prunes with sweet potato or squash and he likes the combination. I think he's ready to move onto something he can chew on, because he seems bored or reluctant to eat. Perhaps it's because of the prunes.

Bella talks to Evan about snow: "It's white. It's cold."



Our attempt at sledding. The tupperware lid didn't quite work as I hoped. A baking sheet works. Santa, please send a sled next year! Big enough for two so Evan will be able to ride too!
