solids!



we started lola on solids this past week. we started her on cereal and she got to sample some smashed avocado as well. she was able to swallow the cereal ok, but she has a short amount of patience with it before she just wants her bottle.

this week also marked the first illness, first round of calling the doctor in a panic, and first purchase of pedialyte. it was indeed a variation of the stomach flu. and nic and i both got it full force. later, so did our roomate. so it's been a pukey, poopy week for our little house.

i don't know if this is a good time to divulge this, but i might as well get it off my chest. i am obsessed with my child's boogers. this includes eye boogers as well as your standard nose boogers. also, i find myself tranfixed with stray eyelashes. especially those that have come loose but are sticking out the corner of her eye. i'm a picker. i pick at my baby. i also obsess over her earwax--because there is a LOT of earwax--and feel very accomplished when i'm able to get a 3 qtip ear cleaning in. is this weird? i suppose if i have to be asking, it likely is.
