Harlan is a morning baby all the way. He is just the happiest little fart in the mornings after a good nite of rest. He is full of smiles and laughter after his first bottle of the day. On the other hand, evenings are not our best time of day. He is usually overtired from his lack of napping and doesnt enjoy anything but his bath and being held and walked around. We are trying several different approaches to the napping situation and really it is a day to day kinda thing, usually depending on what is going on that day. I am sure we will eventually get it all sorted out and the good news is that he continues to sleep very well all through the night (*knock on wood*)
Mommy also has been trying some rice cereal with Harlan this week. Not every day but once or twice while I have been home and he seemed to be in a good mood. I have found that I have to first let him eat his bottle or it upsets him. Then after that he at least lets me put it in his mouth. He doesnt seem to really like it but he hasnt rejected it either. I have heard that adding some apple juice to it can help with the taste, so we may try that. I just wanna try to limit sweet things until I get him eating veggies, because I have heard that giving babies fruit before veggies can make them reject the veggies. So like everything else, we will try it, see how it works and go from there.
Yesterday Mommy made the cereal way too thick. I made it quite a bit thinner today and he seemed to enjoy it a little better. I am not planning on him getting it daily just yet but every few days until he gets good at the whole spoon thing, then the plan is to try veggies.
Well, little man is waking from his 15 minute power nap and starting to get upset. He will be staying with gma gigi tomorrow night, then home for the weekend. We need a relaxing weekend at home!
