Time for Solids

I'm not sure how long it's going to last, but my life feels like it's changed dramatically since the time changed just two days ago.  Until yesterday, my evening routine was playing with Finn until it was obvious he was tired, and then struggling to get him to go to sleep until he finally drifted off around 9-9:30.  The rest of the evening was spent trying to get work done in between freezing milk and cleaning up.  That usually didn't leave much time for healthy eating, or blogging or for anything fun, since I didn't usually finish paperwork until after 11.

But in the two days since the time change, Finn has fallen asleep (easily!) at 7:30 pm. I'm not sure what's so different - why it is that he falls asleep so easily the past two days - but it's wonderful.  We cuddle, he falls asleep and I put him down and can come downstairs and get work done.  I hate giving up the time with him that we had before...but I'm also loving the extra time.  And feeling a little guilty for enjoying it so much.

But the big news this week is that Finn started solid food this week!  Nanny M stayed a little late to help, and to video the whole thing.  The rice cereal wasn't much of a hit - but after a few tries, it seems to be growing on him.  I have a whole post about baby food to come, but tonight I'm going to take advantage of my free time and read some blogs.
