why did i open my mouth

i was tired and making conversation, i guess....hudson is teething and waking at night quite a bit to comfort nurse. if he was hungry he'd actually EAT. look at him, he knows how to eat. i don't mind that. i do mind him waking at 530, up for the day. i do mind the 30-minute maximum morning nap followed by only an hour/hour and a half afternoon nap and then UP UNTIL 930. SERIOUSLY. he is really not getting enough sleep. his sleeping patterns don't affect his mood, though. he isn't more or less cranky depending on his sleep; it's related to my diet. "well, he's almost 6 months old how about cereal" i am blaming all of my newfound delayin' skillz on the fact that he is breastfed and that's why i'm doing it different. truthfully it's that i've become more informed on infant nutrition and would do the same things if we were using formula. but that's not good enough.
what's funny about that argument (yes there was a 'discussion') is that hudson actually had his first taste of real food today. i've let him gum a piece of apple once and a piece of melon another time for like two seconds but he hasn't tasted anything until today. gus found an old baggie of organic vanilla wafers in the treat drawer and i let him eat one. i was stuffing diapers and i hear him jibberjabbering about baby cookie cookie huddy and i turn around to hudson spitting out chewed up nilla wafer. gus is such a good brother, sharing cookies like that. while it wasn't the ideal hunk of organic sweet potato i had envisioned for two months down the road it was pretty special.
