First off this morning Mia had her first serving of rice cereal today. I tried at 4 months to start her on cereal and she just spit it out of her mouth. I don't know how to explain it but today it just felt right to start her. It really didn't have anything to do with the fact that she is five months. It just felt right. And the result, she loved it. She did so good I was so proud of her. The reason this makes me so happy is that Mia will not take a bottle. She refuses and it so hard on me. I don't mean to sound selfish but I am so tired of being the only one to feed her. If I could just pump and have Mike feed her I swear I would be in heaven. So this is just one step closer to me NOT being her only food source.
Second Michael peeped in the potty for the first time tonight. So when Mike and I use the bathroom we have his little potty in there and he sits on it with his clothes on and pretends to go to the bathroom. Well after a while I have tried to have him pee on the potty. It has only been about three times and nothing has happened. Well tonight Mike and I took off his diaper and thought lets see what happens. He totally went to the bathroom. Honestly it was the most amazing thing I had tears in my eyes. My little boy is growing up. He was so proud of himself because we were so excited for him. Mike and I kept giving him high fives and I took him to the pantry so he could pick out any snack that he wanted. He got a chocolate chip granola bar. This is the picture of him chillen on the couch with what he calls a cookie. I did get a picture of him on the potty but I don't want to post it because his privates are showing. After he ate his granola bar we were patting Mia's butt on the couch because she was crying. He is such a good big brother.
So needless to say I had an eventful day today. It just made me realize that things might just get easier and I might just make it through this after all.
