5:59

Matthew was introduced to solid foods today. We tried him on some rice paste of some sort whilst at the cottage this weekend. He is almost 6 months and that is apparently the magic time. There are two schools of though vis-a-vis solid food and sleep: 1) says there is no correlation; 2) solid food = full belly = sleeping through the night. We were kinda hoping for the latter. Kristine usually feeds Matthew around 3-4am. According to the doctor he should be sleeping through night now, and with solid food, there is no reason not to. So we were going to try that. The deal, given that it is the weekend, was that should Matthew awaken before 6am, I was to put him back to sleep. Well, wouldn't you know it. 5:59am and the little turkey wakes up after sleeping the whole night through. Yippie. Little did we know that this awesome night would be followed by two of the worst he has had to date... but more on that later.
