Tonight was the night for Archer’s first official solid food. Or I guess I should say, solid-ish. I definitely wouldn’t call that stuff solid. It was rice cereal mixed to the recommended 1:4 with milk. He had already had a small taste of tapioca, avocado, and ice cream but this was his first spoonful of anything but milk. He took to it pretty well and only made a small mess so we’re going to try it again tomorrow with a thicker mix.

Enjoy 🙂

My first tattoo is done. I had a bit of filler touch-up tonight so it’s finally complete. It’s kinda hard to tell from the picture but it’s on my inner right forearm.

We are pretty sure Archer has started teething. He suddenly loves to chew on EVERYTHING and it is often the only thing that will calm him down. He doesn’t mind if the fingers are his or yours; as long as they are being chewed the world is good.

Cyn found a Fisher Price Kick & Crawl Aquarium Playmat at the second-hand baby shop near work for super cheap. It has been a real lifesaver. Archer loves it. We’ve been letting him play in it for about 20 minutes at a time for the past week and we can already see a huge improvement in his hand-eye coordination. He is reaching and grabbing objects in front of him fairly consistently now.

Monday is the next doctor’s appointment which means another round of shots. I know he needs to be immunized but it kills us to hear him cry when he’s obviously in pain.
