Eating solids, getting a tooth, sleeping through the night, oh my!

Finn has been a very busy boy the last few months, growing up and trying lots of new things. We have just started rice cereal this past week and besides the fact that he loves to chew on the spoon and "help" mommy feed him, I think he is actually eating some of it and smiles when I give it to him.

I think Finn has been "teething" for months now due to his excessive drool and wanting to chew on everything, but yesterday I felt his first tooth starting to come through on the bottom.

And the most exciting milestone of late is that he's finally sleeping through the night! Well at least he has for the past 3 nights so hopefully I won't jinx it. Unfortunately, we did have to let him cry it out, but we really only had one tough night and then by the second night he went to bed without crying and slept until 6:30 AM. And this is the child that always needed to be rocked to sleep and woke up at least 2 times every night since he's been home. I've also gotten him on a napping schedule so he takes 3 naps a day anywhere from 1-2 hours each. Again this is the kid that only slept for 30 minutes max for naps since he came home. It's amazing what you can get done when your child actually naps - more than just getting your teeth brushed. :)

I also have a big change coming up. Tomorrow I go back to work after being out for 8 months. I'm sure it will be a huge transition but hopefully it will be a nice balance. I'm only working 3 days a week and my mom is going to watch Finn so it should all work out.
