This oatmeal is for you . . .

Sometimes when you're doing things for the first time, like parenting, you've got a plethora of places to obtain information.  And usually all fo that information says something different.  You have your parents, doctors, friends, internet articles that will give you information, but which one do you trust?  I'm here to tell you Butterbutt sometimes you've just gotta go with your instincts.

Take for instance the notion of feeding your child solids.  In this day and age the new age doctors don't suggest that a baby start eating solids until 6 months of age, my mother suggested it when you were only 3 months, my best friend said 4 months, my doctor said anytime I like, and the manager of this apartment complex pretty much insisted you have solids the day you were born.  So with all of these suggestions how am I, or anyone supposed to KNOW when you should give your baby solids?

This morning you threw a fit because I wouldn't give you any of my ice cream (yes I ate ice cream for breakfast.)  That was my clue.  

So today young Butterbutt, you got your first lunch of solids.  Some oatmeal with a little butternut squash mixed in.  You were incredibly cute, and yet I believe confused.  You'd take a bite and give me this look of disgust and yet you'd grab the spoon so you could feed yourself.  You literally inhaled your food.  No really you did, I had to suction your nose out because you pushed some of it up your nose.  

Congratulations Butterbutt!  This oatmeal is for you!
