* Firsts *

How fitting to write about Leland's "firsts" on November 1st. 

(Where did the entire month of October go???) 

Since the last post Leland has has his FIRST taste of real food.  He is enjoying rice cereal, pureed carrots, broccoli, sweet potatoes and banana.  He LOVES to eat, he wants anything that his daddy & I are eating and when you feed him, you can't shovel the food in fast enough.  He had his FIRST drink of water from a sippy cup.  He can roll and scoot and maneuver anywhere he wants to.  He hasn't quite made it to his FIRST crawl, but he gets up on hands and knees and rocks quite often.  At 6 months old he broke the 12 lb. mark by 1 oz.  He had his FIRST Halloween yesterday!  I'll blog about that tomorrow.  I'm afraid if I don't record these firsts somewhere I may never remember them.
