Hello! Zach started cereal (pablum) on October 16th per doctor's orders! Zach's growth rate dropped quite a bit. We think it is because he just is not getting enough from my milk. He seems to really like the "mush". He has it 3 times at day. No allergeric reactions or side affects!! He likes to grab the bowl, try to grab the spoon, and put his first in his mouth right after I put the spoon in there! On Oct 16th he weighed in at 14 pounds, 2 ounces. I'm hoping to weigh him today to see how much of a difference the cereal is making. And finally.....his sleeping is getting better during the night! For the past 3 nights, he has slept more than 2 hour stretches. It's wonderful. He doesn't seem to want to nap during the day though, that's a bit of a fight...but that's okay! More exciting news....on the morning of Friday, October 19th, I went into his room to find him on his stomach in the crib. That means he finally turned from his back to his stomach. He's been rolling ever since! He doesn't stay in one place anymore! He is also trying to crawl! He gets a little frustrated because he can't go as fast as he wants to on the floor. He also got a great early Christmas present from my parents! We try not to put him in it too much when he is over there so he doesn't get bored with it too fast. I don't think he will...too much to do and look at.
I'm greatly excited that Uncle Mike, Auntie Kindra and Auntie Carolyn will be home for Christmas! I'm hoping Uncle Jim will come home sometime soon to meet Zach as well!
