Beautiful Day

It's absolutely gorgeous out today. It's been so rainy for almost a week and today there's hardly a cloud in the sky and it's so blue. It's getting chilly though and we've started turning on the heater sometimes.

I had my second PPMD group today and I'm really enjoying it so far. I just might be going out with another woman from my group this coming weekend. I'm looking forward to that :)

Nathan is officially sleeping in his own room now in his crib! He had no trouble with the transition from bassinet to crib and he only wakes up once during the night to eat. I'm also trying to get him to nap in there instead of his swing.

He's completely out of 3 month old clothing and his 6 month stuff is getting a little snug around his chest. His 6 month pajamas weren't clean the other night so I put him in a 9 month one and it fit! A little bit big but I think I'll start buying that size instead of the 6 month stuff.

He's eating around 5.5 to 6oz. and I've actually started him on solid foods. I know a lot of people may not agree with that, but I felt he was ready to start and he's doing great. For the first week it was just rice cereal mixed with formula and he had no allergic reaction or upset tummy so I've introduced jarred food. I'm feeding him one kind for about 3 days then I try a new one. They're all mixed with a little rice cereal and I put a little formula in if it's too thick. He loves sweet potatoes, likes butternut squash, has mixed feelings about bananas, and hates apples and carrots. It's carrots again tonight and tomorrow, then prunes. Prunes are not what I would have chosen, but hubby did the grocery shopping ;)

We might be getting a family doctor soon. At least a pediatrician but hopefully someone we can all go to. It's really hard to find a walk-in clinic around here. In London they were everywhere! Canada is much different than the states and it's nearly impossible to find a family doctor here. Most people have to go to walk-in clinics and see a different doctor every time. That's what we're doing right now until we can find someone. I still have our doctor in London, but driving there is just a pain especially with a baby, and it's tough on the wallet with all the gas (and car repairs). I shouldn't complain too much though since we do have free health care in Canada and that is a blessing.

Hope everyone is well. New pictures on our shutterfly site and a vid on youtube that my hubby's mom took.
