Colston's 3.5 months!

Wow! Where does the time go??? A very cliche saying, but it's VERY true... he's getting so big! Last night we tried rice cereal for the first time. He did very well and seemed to enjoy it. After talking to the pediatrician today (I guess I should have waited for the visit to start solid food) I've decided to discontinue for a few weeks. He said that Colston has his whole life to eat REAL cereal and that breastmilk is all the nutrition he needs until 6 months. (He mentioned something about childhood obesity and diabetes too.) I'm not going to wait that long, but I will wait until about 4.5 months to begin it on a daily basis. At least we got to see how he'll handle it and he'll be even more ready then. Why rush things?? I enjoy nursing him and being his lifeline. It's special... do I really want to mess with that so soon? NO!!

So let's see... we left him for the very first time for two nights so we could go to Florida for Harlan and Julie's wedding. Beverly and Smith came to watch him and he had a wonderful time. I wasn't worried one bit about how he would feel..... I was worried about how I would feel. I missed him sooooo much, but of course I realize it's important to get away with my husband and get refreshed. We had a great time, but it was like Christmas day to get home to our baby. I think he got bigger in two days!

On the horizon....... Erin's baby girl is on her way! We are so excited! She is measuring big, so although she isn't due for two weeks it's a possibility that she is induced early. We shall see. Colston and I went to see Lib's nursery today and Colston broke in her changing table. We needed to borrow a few things... diaper, wipes, burp cloth AND a onesie b/c he dominated his! Ha!! Hope Libby doesn't mind. ;-)
