Extra, Extra Read All About It...Linus Makes New Strides

Some exciting news....
FIRST, Linus started eating "real" food. So far he has had rice cereal (not a favorite), oatmeal (better when moistened with prune juice), applesauce (loves it), squash (also loves it) and peas (they come back out). If anyone has suggestions for good starter foods that are easy to pass, Linus would appreciate it as his taste buds are ready to explore new flavors and his disgestive track could use a little boost

SECOND, Linus got is first tooth (lower front left) last Sunday, which explained some of the fearsome nights we had during the week. While he proudly shows it off while smiling, he doesn't like to have anyone take a good look at it.

THIRD, he started "school" (that's what I call daycare to make it easier for me) and he is doing a great job. Linus started with half days which went great! The first week he did protest a bit by not eating and as usual taking 10-20 minute naps (I have gotten him up to about 30 minutes at home, although that may only happen once a day). The second week he had one full day, which went well, although he was exhausted when I picked him up. He also started to have "real" food snacks at school which made taking a bottle much easier :-) We know Linus is liking school, because everyday his "report card" has a new category circled..."smiley", so despite the poor napping, he remains cheerful.

We'll keep you posted with further develpoments, until then be well
