Two Big Milestones

It was a big weekend in the Chechourka household. Dominic passed two big milestones, his first rice cereal and his first night of sleeping in his room. I would have posted video of both, but recording him sleeping seems a little creepy. Besides, the eating is way cuter.



His first non-boobie meal consisted of rice cereal. He wasn't exactly sold at first but after he realized it was food, he was all for it. He liked the rice cereal, but he LOVED the bananas we fed him the next day. So much so, he was even trying to eat the banana he had spilled onto his bib.

His face may not say it, but he's bananas for bananas!

We're already gearing up for his next meals. We're making the food ourselves, using "Cooking for Baby". We've already whipped up some meals of peas and sweet potatoes. We're freezing them to serve up later. I like this food-making stuff because A) I'm cheap and B) I get to use the food processor!

As for moving to his room... it's a move a month overdue. We had big plans to move him out of our room after 3 months. But as I've learned... your plans are not always your kids' plans. First he got sick. Then he had the allergic reaction to amoxicillin. Then he got sick again (thanks again daycare).

So far, the move has been a roller coaster. The first night was good, the second night was terrible, the third night was good again. Can't explain the ups and downs, but hopefully it gets a little more consistent. 

As for the next milestone? I'm rooting for sleeping through the night.
