On Saturday November 1st, Samuel had his first real food. Rice cereal, not sure if I would classify it as real food but our pediatrician does. The bottom picture above is of the 1st. The feeding was about as successful as we could have hoped. Samuel took in about 2 teaspoons of food, we think. It is difficult to tell how much he actually takes in as you can see a great deal of the cereal remained on his face.
The top picture above is of Julia feeding Samuel today(Sunday 2/11). The feed went much better today. First, Samuel took his first bottle from Julia without complaint. Then he ate all of his rice cereal. It was not much, only a 1/2 teaspoon of rice cereal mixed with 1 ounce of formula but he ate all of it and drank 8 ounces of formula also. We think he heard the doctor the other day and he is making a concerted effort to take in more calories.
Julia spent most of Saturday steaming and pureeing carrots, potatoes, butternut squash and then freezing it in ice cube trays so that we would have quick, easy meals available during the week.(For any P & G folks reading this, yes, there is a spreadsheet schedule for Samuel's meals.)
Julia and I had date night last night. We went to a restaurant in the 14th. Good atmosphere but pedestrian food. If anyone has a favorite restaurant in Paris we would love to hear about it. The only item we ask is that it be near a metro station as the RER is unreliable on the weekends and we don't want to be stranded with Samuel with a babysitter.
We also have spent a good portion of the weekend hanging pictures on the walls. The apartment is definitely looking and feeling more like home. The guest room looks especially nice if anyone is interested in visiting.
