Ummmm....

Really? It's been a month since that last post? How did that happen? I swear I wrote that just a week ago!

Things are busy. Going and doing. Getting ready for Halloween. And cleaning and preparing for the kiddo's first birthday. I can't believe he turns one in just a couple of weeks! The year has gone too fast.

Thanks for the tips/reassurance on the food post. He's regularly eating 3 meals a day now. Still all purees. I make all his food, but finally caved and bought some Stage 3 jars. I'm hoping the extra texture in those will help him make the transition. I've tried leaving the food I make more textured when I puree it... but he's wanted nothing to do with it. So far, he's eating the jarred stuff without gagging... which is a good start. And yesterday, I gave him a piece of toast and he actually ate a couple bites of it. Slow progress.... but progress, none the less!

I often sit down at the computer with the intention of writing a post. Check my email. Check the groups. And by that time, the kid is hanging on my leg, and either a) shoving the keyboard tray back under the desk and away from my hands so I'll pay attention to him. or b) SCREAMING because he wants to play with the keyboard and I won't let him. Either way, it makes if nearly impossible to write. And, since he doesn't sleep worth a darn, I don't get much writing time then, either. The short time he sleeps in his bed and I do get free time, I'm usually trying to get caught up on a million and twelve things.

Stick with me. He's bound to get over this phase and learn to sleep and cooperate to give me a few minutes of time. Someday.......................

glad to hear you are still around. Also, good to see he is eating more solids. It just takes time sometimes. You have a great attitude that "this too shall pass".

I know this is an older post, but I wanted to commiserate. :) Ethan also does not sleep well, nor does he allow me much time on the computer as he's velcro boy. Think of how far you have come since this post!

Anyway, I'm still here! Just not often (as you understand!). Congrats on your little guy's first birthday!!!!!!
