You're eating solid foods!

Dear Max,
This was a big week for you and me, too. You started on rice cereal, and it is absolutely adorable watching you gobble up it up. You open your mouth wide and wait for the little gerber spoon to hit your lips. Soon enough...we're going to move on to oatmeal and then...bananas..yummy. I resigned from teaching this week. It was an enormous decision, but I think it'll be the best thing for you. I miss you so much during the day, and I really don't want to miss out any firsts. Speaking of firsts, you're also sitting up without help. Not for more than 10 minutes, but you're definitely working up to it. Daddy and I are leaving you for the first time this weekend to go to Ginna and Jeff's wedding in Minneapolis. I'm a little nervous, but I know you're in good hands.
I love you sweet pea,
Mommy
