A New Day

Well, first of all let me deliver the big news of the day. We started Aaron on his first solid tonight, baby cereal, and not surprisingly, he did just what he did in the hospital when he was born. When he was born, the nurses didn't think he would actually eat (latch on) and when I put him to the breast, he grabbed ahold of it and didn't let go until I had to make him stop. Tonight, I was the one to underestimate him. I didn't think he would actually eat the cereal (since none of the other kids actually would eat the cereal), and I was thinking that it would take a couple of days before he would get the hang of the proper tongue motion. Silly, silly me. I should know by now, that when it comes to food, don't stand in between my little guy and his mouth because you just might get inhaled in the process!
He had his first spoonful, and after that I couldn't put it in his mouth fast enough. I made about 4 ounces of the cereal, not thinking he was going to eat the whole thing. Well, the bowl is empty, and now he's moved on to his bottle. He was actually starting to get pissed at me that I wasn't feeding him fast enough. What a little pig.
I was going to take some pictures of his first feeding, but the little guy ate so quickly that it was all over before I even realized it. Maybe next time.

I wish that everyone of you could see what he's doing now. He's been pretty fussy all day, and now daddy's walking around the living room with him, patting him on the back and he is sounding like a stuck song....it's kind of like a really really extended cry. One long pitch, no variation in the sound, just like his vocal chords got stuck....lol

I put up some new pictures on Yahoo! Http://photos.yahoo.com/Trouse_80
I got about half of the pictures up, I will get the rest of them up in about a day. My scanner just kind of crapped out while I was scanning in the first batch, so half the pictures that were supposed to go up, didn't. They will be up by tomorrow night though.

We watched "Hope Floats" tonight. For those of you that don't know, we used to live in Smithville, Texas. "Hope Floats" was filmed right there in our tiny little town, and everytime we watch it, it's like visiting home. I miss it. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't move back there because of some bad stuff that happened, but when I first moved there, it was the beginning of a new chapter in my life, and it was a good time at first. Watching that movie reminds me of all the good times. That, and Harry Connick Jr. is just as hot as any southern boy (a weakness of mine) can get!!

Tomorrow is my first interview with the custody investigators office. I'm pretty happy that I finally get to talk to these damn people, I've only been waiting for almost 2 years now. It also signals that we are getting to the end of this damn case with my ex-M-I-L. Thank GOD!!!!
I will be sure to keep everyone posted on how it goes.

Well, that's it for now. I'm starting to get the "evil eye" for being on the computer so long, so I better turn the dang thing off.

Until tomorrow, Ciao Baby!
