Woohoo!

Sweet potatoes are a go again! Woohoo!

This kid is eating like a horse. This morning, for example, he ate a bowl of oatmeal mixed with formula, 1/2 a tub of applesauce, and he STILL wanted a 4 oz. bottle. Then he ate less than 3 hours later at daycare. Last night, he ate a bowl of oatmeal, 1/2 tub of peas, 1/2 tub of pears, and a small bottle. Then four hours later, he ate a 6 oz. bottle. The kid is no chunk. My friend's baby, who is just now 9 weeks old, weighs just about a pound or so less than Will, and Will turned 5 months on Sunday. Their birth weights were only about 1/2 lb. apart, too, so it's not like Jack started out at 10 lbs. He just caught up quickly. And he's exclusively breastfed!

As for us, we booked our 10th anniversary trip to Las Vegas. We purchased Terra Passes to help counteract the huge carbon impact of flight. What a great idea those are! I'm considering getting one to counteract our house's carbon footprint for the year. If we don't take care of our environment now, what kind of world will my child (and his children) inherit?

Here's Will modeling his "Born to Read" bib I got from the American Library Association's website.
