Sit and Play!

Finn is by now really good at sitting up. It really helps his attention span; we can leave him be for quite awhile with a pile of toys around him, and he'll be happy to be by himself.

His arms are also very strong so he can get in a position where he looks like he might be able to crawl. I've also seen him try to push himself up on his hands and knees to look up over the edge of his crib. At night he tends to move around in his crib by a foot or two over several hours, so he must be able to creep---but we haven't seen it in action.

We've had some problems with the solid food. He loved rice cereal and bananas, but then he didn't like sweet potatoes. After that we tried avocado, and that was a disaster. He actually looked really angry at me after his first bite of avocado. The avocado made Katie's mouth itch pretty bad, so we think that might have been the problem with Finn too. Since the avocado incident several days ago, he has refused all solid food, including rice cereal, oat cereal, and bananas! So we're going to take a break from it. Hopefully if we eat a lot in front of him this weekend he'll get interested again.
