1. Yesterday I fit into my pre-pregnancy jeans - yay! Granted they were a little snug, and I definitely have some stomach excess to work on toning up, but I can fit back into half of my wardrobe again (at least I think so, the jeans and a few skirts are the only things I've tried so far). It will be a while before I can get into my old tops and blouses, but I expect, once I've finished nursing however many children we can have, I'll be able to get back into them eventually - right?
2. Another milestone - We started William on rice cereal a few days ago, so far it's been a hit. There was a lot of to-and-fro from the spoon into the mouth and out again as he gets used to swallowing, but he's definitely interested and goes for it once we get the process going. I'm going to start on peas and avocado (not together) over the next week or so, then we'll try out sweet potato, banana, peaches, apricots and applesauce. I'm excited about the process of introducing new foods and seeing his reactions. I'm a little nervous and the changes it will bring to the diapering side of things, but I guess it's all part of the process.
William is wearing a bib from one of Andrew's high school friends we fortuitously got re-acquainted with when we were living in Hong Kong - "Uncle Shapee" as we affectionately call him, gifted William this memento of their high school alma mater, including Andrew's playing number. When I told Andrew we were starting William on his first meal, he went and fetched this bib specifically, I think that's a good sign he likes it. Thanks Dave! :)
I thought about including the video of his first meal, but it's 7.5 minutes long, only proud parents can sit through that kind of stuff :)

What a cute little boy! Any plans to visit HK soon? :)
Hi. Be careful with avocados because they give babies gas. Jude got terrible stomach cramps after eating them at such a young age. We waited til after a year to try again and he was fine. Just some friendly advice I thought I'd throw your way. :)

I am sure you look amazing already! Nursing helps shed those pounds lightening quick :)
He's a keeper. Love that face.
