Chatty Sammy

Well, Sam is, yet again, taking after his daddy!!!

He won't stop talking (well, babbling)... Yesterday, after church, we fed him - which he ate carrots, prunes, squash and a spoon-full of peas - and thought he might be in need of a nap since he had not slept all day!!!! Oh, No!!!! He played and "chatted" all afternoon!!!! No nap for Sam (or mom and dad)!!!!! We went back to church, and Sam fell asleep in the car. OK - so he slept for 30 minutes and was wide open again. He didn't sleep at all while we were there!!! THEN, when we got home, he was still wide-open!!!! BJ kept asking what I had put in his milk!!!??? I have no idea!!!! The little guy didn't go to bed until after 10, and I think he would have stayed up if we hadn't made him lay down in his crib!!!!!! YIKES!!!! What are we in for now?????

Back to the feeding stuff...

After lots of research, I am feeding Sam more big boy food! He has been introduced to all the 1st foods, so, Saturday, he started with his three meals! He had cereal and bananas for breakfast, apples, sweet taters, peas and milk for lunch, and prunes, bananas and squash for dinner - topped off with a bottle with some cereal. All went well until dinner, when he decided he was tired of this spoon feeding business!!! Bottles are much easier!!!!

OK - lesson learned... not all at once!!!! Now, I have decided to ease him into three full meals!!!! Now, lunch is our big boy meal, and I'll do breakfast next and then dinner later!!!! My new motto: Baby steps!!!!!!! Oops!!!! Live and learn, huh????

And he is so funny when you feed him peas or green beans!!!! He really hates them, but he MUST have some green in his diet!!!! So, I give him a spoon or two each day. When you give them to him, he screws up his face and makes this god-aweful gagging noise - with his tongue out and everything!!!!! It's so funny!!!!!!

Eat your veggies, right!!!!????
