Sam's friend, Maverick, (and my friend, Kelly) gave him a new "toy". We tried it out today with a little bit of banana (more later on why that was a bad idea). Sam didn't know what to do with it at first but quickly got the hang of it.

| Not really interested... |
 |
| Hmmm...wait a minute! I think there's something in there! |
 |
| Nom, nom, nom...I <3 banana. (Thanks, Maverick and Kelly!) |

| We tried some rice cerea with a little banana mixed in and Sam seemed to love it. |

| What a mess! |
Now, here's where I am a glutton for punishment. My mommy gut tells me that Sam's belly just may not be ready for solids. He seems pretty fussy when we've tried any new solid like the sweet potatoes and oatmeal. I try them anyway b/c the doc said I shouldn't wait longer than 5.5mo to feed Sam solids. Well, we're definitely waiting for a LONG time before trying bananas again as Sam freakin' screamed his head off most of the evening and then slept like crap. He apparently had really bad stomach cramps/gassy and it wasn't until his 1:30AM wake up that he was able to "toot" out all the gas and finally calm down. Poor Sam! We'll stick to the bottle mixed with a little rice cereal for awhile now.
