Day 188:
Well Boy'O, seems the Lion Heart is ready for the Lion's share... In fact, it would appear that 6 ounce bottles ever 3 hours (during the day) isn't quite enough! After each feeding you appear to be ready for more, and each bottle is being attacked like a hungry Lion on an Impala in the great Serengeti! You're putting it AWAY these days, Son. What's more, we've begun adding a tablespoon or so of rice cereal to the bottles... This both thickens up the food as well as adds much needed calories for a growing boy.
Hopefully the food being thickened up will also provide you a sense of texture to your eating, thus enabling you to better receive some of the solid foods Mommy and me have been pushing on you. Time will tell I suppose. But one thing's for sure, you're growing like a weed, Boy'O! Each day a little bigger... A little stronger.
These days it seems all you want to do is sit up and grab a hold of your small toys and rattles; which is fine by me because I've been waiting for these little interactions for what seems like EVER! And in fact, just this morning one of your caregivers, Mines, showed me a picture of you sitting at the table with all the other kids just patiently awaiting your bottle! I almost hit the floor with surprise, Boy'O! So proud of you!!!
That's it for tonight, Son.
I love you so very much, growing Boy...
-Dad
