I managed to get there early, which was good. Didn’t get lost. I did get off the expressway too soon, because the exit the directions said I should take said it went to Miami, whereas the exit one number off said it went to the road that the neurologist was on. I stopped at a [...]

So, I’m all ready to leave for the neurologist already, and I don’t have to leave for about a half an hour. Go me. Even then we’ll still be early, but I have to swing by Publix and pick up a thing of formula to tide us over until I pick up the WIC checks [...]

Declan is getting a LOT more coordinated. Now he knows where things are, and how to reach and grab for them…this is both good and bad. If he manages to get a hold of something I didn’t think he could get, by pulling something down off the coffee table, and I take it from him, [...]

The solid food introduction is going so-so. He likes pears, but only if they’re made by ‘beech nut’. He threw a complete fit today when I gave him ‘gerber’ pears, but calmed down when I gave him formula instead. He decided after the third try that maybe bananas weren’t so bad, and is about 50/50 [...]

Today we tried Declan with real food for the first time. Mashed pears. The reaction was a bit mixed, every other bite he liked, the alternate ones he looked confused or disgusted. Some very interesting video, which I will convert in a few days, if I have time.
D’s birthday went well. I made a chocolate [...]
