The downside of "adult" foods

It's pretty cool that Nathaniel is starting to eat foods that sound somewhat appetizing (even if they don't look it). Last night, he had a meal that was chicken with carrots and noodles, flavored with pear juice, balsamic vinegar and parsley. Sounds OK, even if it's actually a yellowish paste. And he ate the whole thing.

The downside? Two hours later, he spit a little back up ... maybe we were playing too rough or maybe his stomach is still a little sensitive from the wacky new foods. Either way, what once were cute little spitups are quickly becoming really stinky little spitups.

Some digested formula just isn't that bad if it comes back up. Digested meats and such start to get quite an unpleasant odor.

I hope he adjusts soon.

A LOOK BACK

One year ago today, Amanda and I went to the hospital the night before the induced labor to settle in and get a few preliminary treatments to help with the upcoming labor. Man, we had no idea what we were in for ... the plan then was still born on Thursday, home on Saturday and watch the Steelers in the Super Bowl on Sunday. How things changed.

To anonymous:

I though balsamic was a little odd too ... but it was a jar of Gerbers or some such. I wouldn't add something like that on my own. Still, it's strange to see that in baby food, huh?
