on thursday, the doctor gave us the ok to start anna on a little bit of cereal. while not opposed to this new food medium, she didn’t fully embrace the idea either. she spit most of it out and was more excited to chew on the spoon. she was also a bit preoccupied with removing […]

Potty Training
Earlier this year, we dabbled a bit in introducing the potty, only to discover that Isaac wasn’t really interested. Well, he was interested. Just not quite “getting it”. He wanted to wear undies.
