Eli's First Solid Food

The first third of Round 4 was decisive for the fuss. He had us on the ropes, swinging wildly and making us really tired. But the tide turned after we enlisted the help of "Mr. Swaddle", who kept Eli bottled up and ultimately resulted in a 7 hour 'knock out'. He only woke up once, after five hours, while swaddled, even though he was in his crib. So hopefully that is our ticket to sleep for the next few weeks.

Yesterday also ushered in the age of Eli eating solid food. Well, rice cereal in milk anyway. Video of lots of effort and mess for a few rice grains in his mouth follows.
