This Week With Walker

Friday, September 14
Walker rolled over from his back to his belly during our visit with Grandmother Jane. He rolls consistently now-almost every time we put him on his back.
Monday, September 17
Walker started solid foods with sweet potatoes. It went well and no reaction so../
Tuesday, September 18
Walker had sweet potatoes plus rice cereal for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. He seemed so hungry so I kept feeding it to him. He also had almost 8 oz of milk after his bath. He slept from 8pm-5am! That is 9 hours!! I felt so rested and so hopeful that the solid foods were going to make the difference and he would start sleeping through the night. Wrong...
Wednesday and Thursday night he woke up 2x to nurse. Thursday, he tried bananas for the first time. He tolerated it, but he likes the sweet potatoes better. He did spit up a lot that afternoon but I am not convinced that it was from the bananas.j

He is growing like crazy and his blonde hair is filling in. Every day he looks like a different little boy. He is precious and is either gawking (new nick name is "Walkie Gawkie") or smiling. And he has a great rolling laugh. Jane seems to get a great rolling laugh out of him by just playing with him while he is in the exersaucer. He loves to flirt. He checks someone out then laughs, brings his hands up to his face and digs his head into my shoulder then looks back with a huge smile. Precious pie!
