When I was your age...

Now I can finally be one of those people who says to their child, "when I was your age..." I was over at my mom's looking for baby pictures. I realized that things (pictures, scrapbooking, and taking notes) are less and less with the 3rd child. I, being the youngest, experienced that on Sunday. My mom found my baby book that had about 5 pages filled out...sorry mom...I knew you were busy back then. But I kind of felt neglected. I know that if I say I won't do that with my youngest, I will but I guess it happens to everyone.
Anyway, I came across the page of my eating habits as a baby. And it is so funny that I was given rice cereal at 2 months, fruit and veggies at 3 months, and 2% milk at 4 months! Now they don't want you to go to solid foods until 6 months, let alone milk until they are at least 1 year. But I guess I turned out fine! There are so many rules that they say we should follow but it makes you wonder if it really matters. But now I can tell Isaac, when I was your age I had milk by now.
I think Mr. Isaac is on his way to crawling. This morning he was on the bed with Nick and I put the bottle in front of him and he got up on all fours and was rocking back and forth...trying not to go nuts reaching for the bottle. But now we need to start baby proofing everything.
