Gord has been off for the last 11 days, so Asher and I have been enjoying having him around and we have been able to get so much done around here too!
Since Asher has been quite a gassy baby since day one; about a week before Christmas we decided to try something. Because Gord is lactose intolerant himself, we decided that it might be a good idea for me to try going off dairy for a week to see if it made any difference for Asher.
Well the results are in, and as far as we can tell it seems to be helping. This last few weeks have been great! Other then the teething pains here and there Asher has been a very Happy baby making Christmas Eve, Christmas day and New years a breeze.
As previously noted, Asher is teething.... dun dun dun... the drool is phemonimal... not only does he drool but he has learned to spit, well kind of. I think he likes the noise he makes with his mouth!
We also started solid foods while Gord was off, which has been great also! We decided to start with pear since it is not a binding food and very easy on the tummy too! He loved it. Then we gave him some "sweet potato" which is actually yams... because yams are the orange ones and sweet potatoes are the yellow ones... but lets not get into it! He loves his yams even more!
We have been using this great book for making baby food (which I believe was given to Asher at his baby shower by Aunty Dara), and it has been a huge help in getting us started. We even boiled up some turnip last night, pureed it, and froze it in ice cube trays for future dinners! Yum!
Tonight I wrote down all of the fruits and veggies he will be trying and in what order so I can check them off once he has tried each one. It's kinda fun!
Here is a video of his eating some pears...
Here are just a few photos from the last few weeks:
