1st big milestone

Liam is sitting up!  He did it for the first time last night, and today he did it a couple more times.  I can't believe it.  It seems so soon.  I just started feeding him rice cereal and maybe that gave him the strength he needed to hold his torso up :-)  He really likes to eat so I am thinking of bringing on some other foods.  I know the docs say to wait until six months but I might start with pears just because he has a pooping problem (in that he doesn't poop regularly).  Our pediatrician recommends pear juice to make Liam poop; he calls it "baby blowout juice".  It hasn't worked so far but only because Liam won't drink from a bottle.  He's been breastfed since birth and now doesn't want the fake nipple.  Since he seems to prefer the "real thing" maybe he'll eat the pear baby food I will make.

I'm typing this after everyone has gone to bed, and I hate staying up alone.  I hear weird sounds that always seem to be someone trying to break in, or the bogeyman, or something else that is scary.  I'm going to bed now before I freak myself out even more.  XOXO
