Andy's Oatmeal Fingers

Andy's been eating oatmeal cereal for a week or two now, and he's getting better at it. He was starting to get better, then last week got an ear infection and it seemingly hurt him to swallow, so he didn't eat very well (and not very much at all) for a few days - not that he was eating that much anyway, but would only take a couple bites before he started screaming in pain. Anyway, since he started his medicine a week ago, he's feeling better and eating better again. Here's a video of him having lunch today. He currently has his 4 bottles and now one "meal" (about a tablespoon of oatmeal cereal with a little bit of his formula mixed in) around noon. He's gotten very enthusiastic about eating the past few days!

Yay, Mama!

I know, I know - you're not supposed to compare your kids because they're all different...okay. Having said that, so far Kaylee and Andy are not that much different, milestone-wise (not that there have been too many to compare yet, with Andy being not quite 6 months old at this point). They both started rolling stomach to back at/just before 3 months (Kaylee started rolling back to front right around 6 months, so we'll see if Andy makes it - he gets very close, but doesn't like being on his stomach...). 10 days shy of being 6 months old, Kaylee started "talking" more by saying dada, and 2 days later followed that up with mama. And last night, 11 days shy of being 6 months old, Andy started "talking" more, but he got it right by saying mama. ;) Maybe in another couple days, he'll add dada to the mix. Even Kaylee kept saying, "he just said, 'mama!'" At one point after some weird babble, she said, "now he said, 'Kaylee!' That's just how he says it, funny like that." I guess she didn't want to be left out, either.
