First Solids (5 months)

Kevin hit the 5 month mark! I actually did hold out and didn't give him solids until we got back from our cruise. The night we got back I gave him some rice cereal. I tried peas the next day (before reading that you're supposed to wait until they're 6 months old) and banana today (I just mashed up the rest of Kherington's banana). He seems to like it, but isn't chowing down. I actually think he just likes having the spoon in his mouth since it has a rubber tip to it and he can hold and gnaw on it.

Personality Update:

• Loves to be held - wakes up when I put him down after he falls asleep with me holding him
• General bed time is about 9pm and wake-up time is 6am (with feedings in between)
• Not on a feeding/sleeping schedule yet
• He has lots of blow-outs - I think it comes down to the fact that he has a rather long butt crack and the poo comes out with so much power it goes down and up the back b/c there usually isn't that much poo quantity wise.
• Smiles and laughs a lot
• Loves to be outside
• Has a pointy tongue just like Kherington
• Still Mr. Rollie Pollie
• Does not like car seat for long periods of time
• Grabs our food while we eat

I used the clippers to cut his hair. I did an 8 all the way around the try to even things out but now I want it to grow out a little because it seems too short on top. I'm not sure what to do with the little sole patch type thing he has going on in the back (right above his neck is really really thick, then he has a thin spot where he has rubbed the hair off from laying on his back).
