Drake turned 6 months last week, so the pediatrician gave us the OK to start introducing veggies. I am trying to make them myself (we will see how long that lasts...) We first started him on green beans, which he loved at first until I gave him a bite that was too hot. Bad mommy! Ever since then he hasn't liked his veggies that much. A few days later we introduced peas, which he hasn't really cared for either. I think next I might move on to some orange veggies, even though the doc said to stick with green. If I were Drake, and had only had breastmilk and cereal, I don't think I would like icky veggies either! At least orange veggies are a little sweeter, and maybe a little easier for him to start with. We will see!
About Drake sitting and rolling over: He has mastered both, and he wants to crawl so bad, but can't figure it out quite yet. He will push up on his arms, then lay his face down on the ground and push his butt up in the air. He hasn't figured out how to do both at the same time, it is really cute! On occasion he will topple over when sitting and it makes him so mad! He hasn't learned to move into the sitting position himself, so once he learns this, I don't think toppling over will make him quite so angry.
One other big thing that happened last week was Drake got tubes put in his ears! The poor little guy has had 5 ear infections in the past 3 months, so the ENT doctor decided it was time. The procedure only took a couple minutes, but it really stressed Jason and I out having to put Drake under anesthesia. Drake was a trooper though, and did wonderfully! He had the tubes put in his ears in the morning, and by late afternoon he was basically back to his normal self. We are keeping our fingers crossed that this marks the end of the ear infections!
I have a bunch of pictures to post, but here are a few that we had taken recently:
Thanks for all the pictures and update. Hawaii misses all of you. Keep the blog alive.
