Since your 4 month birthday, your food repertoire has expanded and you seem to love every new solid food we can spoon you. Fruits are your favorite: bananas, apples, pears, plums, peaches and, as of yesterday, prunes. (Mommy and Daddy learned, however, that the power of prunes should be used wisely and in small doses…) For veggies, you have chowed down on avocado, peas, green beans, summer squash, winter squash, zucchini, and sweet potatoes. Rice and oatmeal are your two cereal mix-ins; we’ll try millet later this week.

We had a rough night last night and it was Mommy’s bad. She fed you what she thought were the avocado bits of guacamole. The several times you woke up screaming with very painful digestive issues told her that some onion or garlic must have snuck into your system. She apologized profusely and joined you in several naps.
