Yummy Bananas!

Today I started feeding Adrian bananas. He had a bowl of it for breakfast....he did NOT like it. I was kind of surprised because bananas are sweet and I thought he'd really like it. Most of the way through the bowl he made funny faces until I sat him in my lap and assured him it was okay.

Mama, are you sure this is okay?

For lunch, I changed the consistency a little bit and gave him banana again, but he refused to eat it, even though I know he was hungry. So I made him rice cereal and put a little bit of the banana in it. He loved it and ate a whole bowl! Apparently I'll have to perfect my baby-food skills :)  Here's a picture of him after he finished his lunch (a whole bowl)! He's only had two 4 oz bottles today so far, so I certainly have high hopes that we won't have to spend so much on formula!

In other news, Nick got a job at Dominos Pizza to help supplement our income after leaving Tar Landing. While I'm anxious about him not being home as much, I'm thankful I have such a hard-working husband who works selflessly hard to provide for his family. I hope to be an encouragement to him when he's tired. He'll only be working around 3 days a week, but he is excited because of the stress relief. 

 I feel a little nostalgic because I remember my dad working 3 jobs at one time, including Pizza Hut to help our family. I remember him always being cheerful about it.  Pizza runs in the family!  For those of you who live here in NC, he will be working at the Dominos on Piney Green Road. We are thanking the Lord for His provision once again :)

In conclusion, this is my sweet cuddle bunny sleeping here in my lap as I type. He's breathing deeply and he's so big now that his legs drape off my lap onto the couch. When I started rocking him like this, he was such a little peanut that could fit his whole body in the boppy! 5 months can change so much too fast.  He's getting too big too fast. How I LOVE my big man and my little man in my life!
