Finally eating real food... kind of.

Calvin has started the road to real food, beginning with rice cereal.  It was a little shaky at first.  There was a little gagging and face making, but now he's thoroughly enjoying his rice cereal.  We mix it with breast milk and baby apple juice.  Right now he eats it just once a day.  Soon we will add oatmeal cereal and fruit.  I think we'll try bananas, peaches and applesauce or pears to start.  Then maybe some veggies, like sweet potatoes and carrots.

A couple weeks ago, we went to the doctor and found out we have a very healthy, but large boy.  At 18 lbs 9 oz and 26.5 inches, he is in the 96 percentile for weight and 91 percentile for height.  And while he looks like he has a large head, its only in the 79 percentile.  However, those numbers make for a big boy.  We love our big boy and we are thankful to God that he is healthy.
