I lost a weekend.

This weekend was so busy we need a weekend to recover from it.  Alex has settled in to a new eating routine.  Eat a little and then scream for something different.  He will let us feed him by spoon.. but only if it is something so yummy.. that he is totally distracted by it.  When meal time comes I have to be the ultimate short order chef.  I try to keep a couple items ahead of him to keep the screaming down.  The screaming is a special loud screech that he learned a few days ago.  He noticed that we can’t ignore him when he does it.  I wish there was a little more variation in it.  He uses the same scream for: Next course; I want more of that; I’d like a drink now; my diaper is full; I’m done and would like to be excused.

Food Troubles

One more thing I just have to mention for today. For the first time he refused all food from me. He HAS to feed himself… everything! If he can’t stuff it into his mouth with his own two hands he wants nothing to do with it. Meal time is officially messy!
