Big stuff happened this week, with the introduction of solid foods! We were really surprised at her four month checkup when Dr. Hutton immediately observed that she was functioning like a six month old, and that it was definitely time for her to be eating. I had been doing some research for whenever the time came, and was a little uneasy about starting with rice cereal. Without sharing my opinion, I asked Dr. Hutton what we should begin with, and she said sweet potatoes or avocados, which made our decision an easy one. I had sweet potatoes at home, so we fixed some up and she never looked back.
This week brought a break in the form of cooler temperatures and a slight reduction in humidity. The mosquitoes have been horrendous this summer, which meant being stuck inside most of the time. Ben is a part of a trio (
Mr. Goodstache) that often plays on Sunday afternoons at a local coffee shop,
Kudu. It is one of his favorite ways to unwind, and Olivia and I have been going out and even staying the whole time because she loves it so much. The music, the outdoors, and the constant view of her main squeeze makes a pretty great afternoon for her.
