week 30 pictures

we spent this week getting back into our daily schedule and adding solids to ryan's regular diet. we used a modified version of the ferber method which was by far the easiest this time around. he gets a bath, feeding, books and the lights go out. after 20 squats (no idea how this came about), he's put down and with a tiny yelp, falls asleep. and if he does wake up after an hour, he cries for maybe 15 minutes and he's out again til the morning which i am still not used to and find myself frustrated that i am waking at night when i should be taking advantage of this time before teething!

as for solids, i try to puree the fruits and vegetables when i can and buy the more difficult to make foods like green beans and peas. each feeding starts with a funny look as the texture seems to throw him off, but he eats quite a bit and is patient between bites. but if you wait too long, he will smack the side of his highchair telling you to hurry up!
