| Home from school |
We have a couple significant developments on the child-rearing front to report. First, John has recently begun 5-day a week, full-day pre-kindergarten classes. This school, unlike the one he had attended since last October on a part-time basis, teaches in English. (John likes this much better.) Week one was successful, and John even told us that staying at home was "kinda boring" compared to all the fun stuff he gets to do at school. You go, John! Keep that attitude forever, son!

Lance is also hitting the developmental milestones. Like I mentioned in a recent post, he is just a week shy of 5 months old right now, and this past week he began limited non-breast milk food trials, a first for him. One evening he dined on a cracker (pictured) and since then he has begun regular evening servings of rice cereal while sitting in his high chair. It took but a few days of this for him to develop quite a gusto for the stuff, pulling the spoon into his mouth and celebrating each mouthful. This new food's "staying power" seems to be allowing him to go longer without feedings in the middle of the night, sleeping for a solid eight hours the other night. In non-food related updates for Lance, he is edging ever-closer to becoming mobile, perfecting his ability to hold his head up high while on his tummy and beginning to get up on his knees (but not the essential hands and knees that he needs to figure out to crawl). He's also working on being able to sit up by himself (actually, maintaining a sitting position on his own after being helped into it by Mom or Dad). But he likes being in a standing position more than anything (photo).
