Well it has been way too long since we blogged on. James is doing great- finally settling into a good sleep pattern after the nightmare of jetlag.
January has been a slog in a lot of ways; the weather is not ideal at this time of year- bitter cold when it is clear and other wise gray and rainy (and cold). We are thankful to be in a house this winter with central heat though. We are both extra busy with work at the moment and in combination with getting back to a pattern, trying to figure out the 2006 Dutch laws regarding health care and taxes, dealing with the short dark days of winter and trying to clear a bunch of viruses from the computer, we haven't made enough time for blogging lately.
James is digging on the solid food- we've tried potato, carrot, apple and banana, and rice cereal to great effect. Katharine doesn't know this but I even used some of the pureed potato to thicken a fish soup recipe I tried the other night- watch out Jamie Oliver! Green beans and avocado not so much; though the avocado could just have been a reaction to an inexperienced father feeding: like an idiot I saw a chunk in his mouth and tried to prise it out with the spoon, literally gagging him with a spoon. Like, totally.

Dude, Live and learn! So glad to hear that James is digging on the solids. Stay with the variety now while he is still willing! Love the photo of him with his toes in his mouth...love, dor
Such a cutie! FYI: I read something about how kids don't usually like something until they have tried it about ten times. So, keep giving them healthy stuff and they will eat it sooner or later.
Yep, this public service announcement from the girl who only had a Coke for lunch every day in high school. . . .
