Harlan Jet mmmmm.Wow, Harlan Jet is 8 months (as of June 19th) and I haven't blogged since he was 11 weeks! Yikes, there's alot to catch up on! Lets see, at about 6 months, Harlan started eating solids! I skipped rice cereal, basically because we don't feel there is any nutritional value, and we started with avacado! He definitely was a little unsure of what was going on, but he did awesome with it! I''ve been making most of my baby food at home from all Organic fruits and veggies, and it has been soooo fun! So far Harlan's had: avacado, banana, squash, peas, carrots, apples, pears, apricots, sweet potatoes, rasberries, and blueberries(he is not a fan!). I''d say he is doing great overall, but he is definitely a veggie man first, well and bananas. Harlan has also started rolling over like crazy! He starts at one end and before you blink, he has rolled himself to the other end of the room! Now he's starting to "scoot" with his toes and pull with his hands. It's only a matter of time before he's mobile! Harlan's personality is so evident now and he honestly is the biggest joy in my life. He is the happiest, most smiley, most sweet and giggly baby I have ever seen! He is such a blessing! He is not sleeping through the night, which is still a smidge of a challenge, but I can't blame him. Three months ago, a lactation nurse I spoke with told me I should be waking him up still at night and feeding him since he was a preemie. At that point in time, he was sleeping 8 hours, waking up once to feed and then going back for about 3 hrs. It was heavenly:) But ever since I started waking him up like the nurse said, he wakes up about every 3 to 4 hours...sigh. We are just praying that this time will pass quickly.
