Cereal News

Tonight, I gave Isaac a bottle and then sat him down in his chair. I only made one tablespoon of cereal mixed with one and a half tablespoons of formula. He was happy when I sat him down and was talking and smiling at me. I put some cereal in his mouth and waited. He kept smiling, then he moved his tongue around and swallowed the cereal. When I put more on the spoon, he opened his mouth and let me put in more cereal. He ate the full amount of cereal and was happy the whole time! I know it may not seem like such a big deal but I'm telling you, I cried. I'm so proud of him and happy that he succeeded but also sad that he is growing so fast.

I'm going to get a little depressing now for a minute. I am not excited about going back to school on Monday. I love Ann and I'm so happy that she is able to care for Isaac when I can't be there but I am so sad that I won't get to be with Isaac all day, every day, anymore. I feel like I will be missing out on so much of his life. I guess this is just something that I have to accept. I have to work so that our little family can survive in this expensive world. One positive . . . I will cherish the times that I am with Isaac and never take a single moment for granted.
