Goin Bananas

Tonight we tried to feed Jonas bananas. He loved them. I don't know if he is just feeling better and wanting to eat more, if the sweetness of them is new to him, or what. I am just glad he loves them. He has struggled a bit with the spoon in the past month we have started solids. I hoped one day he would just "get it." It seems like he has. I guess we eventually found the right thing to put on it! He has eaten minimal rice cereal and has enjoyed some sweet potatoes during this solid food journey. The bananas did the trick!

The best part is that he is sleeping better through the night!! "They" say that foods don't help babies sleep, but I tend to disagree. I do think he was waking up some because he was hungry. He is still waking up once a night, but I will gladly take that. He is going a span of 6-7 hours, eating, then going right back to sleep until 7-7:30ish.

Hopefully in the next couple days we will try Green Beans or Peaches. Yum.

Christmas Party at School

Jonas's class had a Christmas party today at his school. This is the first sense that I had that Christmas is just around the corner. There are 2 classes that are joined by a kitchen-type area that had the party together. Each class has about 8 kids. Each baby had Mommy and Daddy show up for the baby's first Christmas party, so it was pretty packed in the little rooms. Obviously since the classrooms are equipped for babies, there not much room for parents and if you wanted to sit you had to sit on the floor. We didn't mind. There was a nice little covered dish that the parents brought for snacks. It was very nice to see the faces of the parents that made these sweet little babies. I always find it interesting to see who the baby looks like.

We got our first present from Jonas. He made his footprints out of plaster and painted it gold for us. It is the first "thing" he has made, so I am sure we will keep it forever and torture him with it when he is on his first date.

In other exciting news, when I laid Jonas on the playmat to enjoy the yummy food, he rolled over from his back to his belly. It was the first time I had seen him do this, so I flipped him back over and he rolled right back. This is a milestone for us! Every since we have been home, it has been a game for him. We put him on his back, then he rolls right over to his belly. He doesn't like it so much when he gets to his belly, but he sure does seem to enjoy rolling!
