Aidan's first foods

Dear Aidan,

So lots of stuff happened today. You got your 6 month vaccination shot from your doctor today. Daddy and mommy took you in the morning today. You are currently weighing in at 7.42kg (that's app. 16lbs), 69cm in length, and 43cm in head circumference. You are now in the 25th percentile in weight and 50th percentile in height. You used to be in the 90th percentile in height... I can't blame you. Both mommy and daddy are short. Mommy got her physical done today and she is a whopping 5' 2-3/4".
Anyways, when mommy took you home Auntie Sara came over and we gave you your first solid food in your high chair. You turned 6 months today so the doctor told me to start you on solid foods. I gave you a tablespoon of rice cereal mixed with a tablespoon of breast milk. I thought it tasted yummy, but your expression when I first gave it to you wasn't that good (see the video). I was actually pretty sad to give you solid food because that just means you are no longer dependent on mommy for food. Although breast feeding can be a pain and an inconvenience sometimes I really started enjoying our special bond together. Now that I'm starting you on solids I feel like you are getting older and less dependent on me. I know it sounds cheesy, but that's how I feel. Anyways, you only had a teaspoon of the food I gave you, but I will try again tomorrow.
