Last week was quite exciting in the small McCaskey household. Britain’s Aunt Joy and cousin Duncan came to visit. They came just in time for my 32nd birthday and were able to come to my birthday celebration at Chuy’s! Yum, love me some queso and chicka-chicka boom boom sauce. Britain had a lot of fun observing his cousin playing video games and chasing our poor morkie around. (“Jumpy Henri,” as he calls him.)
Britain also had his 6 month check up last week. He’s 19 lbs and is 27.25″ We started him on solid foods and we chose sweet potatoes as his first food. I must say it’s quite overwhelming figuring out when to give a bottle…when to give him the food and how much of each? Then I’m trying to figure out if he’s irritability afterwards is because he’s still hungry, upset stomach, or the new hiccups he’s developed. We’ve never really dealt with that before. Lucky us, right?
Britain, Joy and Duncan

Such a CUTIE! He is getting so big!
I believe that BabyCenter is where I found a good feeding “schedule.” I remember I just googled “when to feed solids” and they have a good chart. I am pretty sure the gist at first is just to feed about 30 minutes after a bottle so that they’re still getting most of the nutrients from that.
