A couple of firsts

Today was the first day of 2nd grade for Christopher. Last night at a back-to-school night we met his new teacher, Mrs. Hix. She's a cute little thing... all of 5' nuthin'. He headed out the door this morning with a lot of excitement and just a little bit of nervousness. When Bret picked him up this afternoon he was all smiles and had made 2 new "best friends". Today was also the first day that Eliza tried solid foods. She hasn't had anything except breast milk since leaving the NICU (and maybe a lick of something here and there from her daddy and grandpa P.). Her pediatrician told us that she can start trying it now, but doesn't really need it until 6months. She had been sleeping well through the night, so what I provided was enough. The last couple of nights she has wanted to eat every 3 hours. So a little infant rice cereal was experimented with. She didn't hate it, but she didn't love it. Or she was just trying to figure out why Mommy and Daddy were taking pictures and video-taping and her siblings making such a big deal. She's like that... as people make a fuss she just kind of looks at you like you're an idiot. She must get that from her dad.
