A Few Firsts

This has been a week of firsts for me! On Sunday I grabbed my toes for the first time and found a fun new toy. I also took my first trip to Beaver Lake and met Judy, Mike and the triplets from Colorado. On Tuesday I spent my first night away from home. William and I stayed with Grandma Barb while Mommy and Daddy were in Duluth on their anniversary trip. I got to meet Sylvia, Grandma's cousin from Seattle. On Wednesday Grandma and her cousin went up north to visit more family members, so they brought me to Grandma Lanz's and I slept overnight there for the first time. Mommy and Daddy came home on Thursday. They brought me a t-shirt that says my nickname, "Peanut." Then on Friday I tasted my first rice cereal. Icky! Mommy kept spooning it into my mouth and I just kept spitting it out and making faces. Finally the cereal made me gag and spit up all over my tray! Mommy tried just plain milk on the spoon but I still thought it was icky. I'm not sure I like the idea of eating. I missed nursing while Mommy was gone, so I think I'd rather stick to that for a while. Hopefully I won't have to see that spoon again anytime soon.
