5 Months old and eating

I know it has been too long and everyone is getting angry with me for not writing. So here goes. Matthias is now 5 months old and starting to eat solids. We started off with one teaspoon of rice porridge. That seems so little, but for babies it was enough. That night, boy did we suffer. Matthias kept waking up every hour and would not go back to sleep. It was hardest on, because I had to do all the waking up and feeding. Well at least I knew I could wake Haukur up if need be. Things only seemed to get worse in the days that followed. But the worst was when Haukur had to go to Norway for the weekend and for the first time in 5 months I had to take care of Matthias solo. The second night Haukur was away, Matthias decided that he would wake up every half hour and scream bloody murder. This continued till 5 in the morning. Oh how I long for the days where he sleeps through the night. With my luck, that won't happen till he's a year old.:)

Since we started feeding Matthias porridge, he is also starting to eat some fruits and veggies. Let me tall you, that is not a pretty sight.
Yesterday was Matthias' 5 month vaccinations and he was so brave. Didn't cry, just smiled and laughed like it was nothing. The only troubling news was that he is still under the average weight for babies his age. He weighs 6150g and is 63cm. Everyone says he is going to be tall and skinny like his daddy, thank god, because I'm short and round:).
