Dada




Isaac said momom first, just for the record. But it’s really cute to hear him say dada too. The flailing arms is classic Ike—he makes me nervous sometimes. It’s like he’s saying, “Whatever you’re doing, mom, do it faster!”

We were able to go to the temple last week thanks to some good friends who came over and hung out while Isaac was in bed. (He went to bed a 6 PM.) I prayed in my mind all day that Isaac would sleep through our absence—I was really worried about leaving him. Apparently my praying throughout the day really worked, because Isaac slept until an unheard of 2:30 AM, ate, and then went back to sleep until 7 AM. Wow! He usually wakes up 2 or 3 times a night.

I ran out of sweet potatoes and bananas last week so I gave Isaac applesauce instead for a couple days. Now that he has tasted that goodness, he will not go back! He will not eat anything except applesauce and rice cereal. Any suggestions?

You could always only offer the others in hopes that he'll get hungry enough to finally eat. However, I've found that it's hard to do rational things with irrational people! Just keep trying and if he won't take it, give him what he will take (rice cereal is pretty fortified if I remember correctly). Eventually he should broaden his tastes.

First of all, I'm loving the arm flail. Second, while I am never one to give food advice (I have one who never touched baby food and one who has a borderline phobia of all fruits and vegetables) I can say this...don't stress too much, he'll be fine whatever he eats...honest.
