Musings....

Here's my lil' cute one. He makes his mommy happy. Most of the time. Right now he's in bed, off for another nap. He goes to sleep on his own and takes good naps throughout the day usually. He's a much better sleeper than his sister ever was.
For exciting developments, M can now roll from his tummy to his back (although he rarely gets the chance because if he's on the floor his sister will clobber him) and he's eating rice cereal. We've been having feeding issues (namely he's too lazy to nurse and makes a fuss the entire time) so we started cereal a month or two earlier than I would have liked. But he loves it. As soon as he sees his bowl and spoon he starts grunting and whining to get at it. You have to constantly be shoveling mounds of cereal into his mouth or he starts crying. Then he shrieks when it's all gone. It takes a few minutes and a pacifier for him to realize that he's not starving anymore and he doesn't really need anymore food. That kid would eat and eat until he made himself sick.
M's new favorite thing is a mirror. Put him in front of one and you are 99.99% guaranteed to get a smile. And if he's really cranky a bath followed by (yep, you guessed it) rice cereal will usually do the trick. Handy for when Dad's going to be late and the house is in chaos.

Tyson was the same way! He's almost 15 months, and he still will occasionally eat too much then throw up! He doesn't do that much, but he used to cry and want to eat forever. I was always worried I might be starving him; then I'd realize that my baby was a huge chubster.
