I'm a big boy now

Nixon's hair is finally starting to grow. He kind of has a mohawk since the sides are really short and the top is much longer. One night after his bath, I was stroking his wet hair as I fed him. This was the result -



Nixon ate cereal for the first time on Monday night, Aug 25th. He's one week shy of 6 months old. I opted to wait this long due to my concern with food allergies, especially since his daddy has some he could inherit (let's hope not). I took some video of him eating, but it's not exciting enough to post here. At least I have it for posterity. Nixon did really well with the meal. At first he kept pushing a lot of it out with his tongue, but after a few tries, he seemed to get the hang of it. Tonight (3 days later) I thickened it up a bit and gave him more. He really seems to like it and probably could have eaten a lot more than I gave him. I realize this is not that exciting to most of you, but the whole ordeal made us kind of sad - Nixon is growing up and becoming a big boy already!
