Rice vs. Oatmeal

I have been trying to give Gavin rice cereal for 4 weeks without much success. Today he went to the doctor because his eye was swollen this morning due to his cold. I asked the doctor about giving him regular food (fruit and vegetables) and he said since he was 5 months that was fine. He did tell me that I could give him any kind of cereal.

So we went to Walmart (because there is no Target here). We got a box of Oatmeal cereal, apples, pears, bananas, carrots, sweet potatoes, squash, green beans, and peas. I opted out on the prunes. I don't know anyone who likes prunes (why they are a baby food I have no idea).

We tried the oatmeal and it went much better than the rice. I am going to wait until next week and start him on sweet potatoes. I just set up his high chair. It sort of sucks that Brett is going to miss out on this. I will have to take pictures once he is done eating!!

On My Own

All those single moms out there - how do you do it? I have been without my husband for 4 days and I am exhausted (and so is Gavin).

Here is a picture of my boys at the Atlanta Airport.
