2 days before he reached 6 months (today-April 28), Otto ate solid food-rice cereal-for the first time. He ate the cereal like he's been doing it all his life. It turns out Otto is a natural born eater. Trevor, Gramps, and I all took turns feeding him and he ate every bit without problem. Another big milestone happened in North Carolina. Otto sat in a high chair for the first time. It was very exciting to eat at a restaurant with out Otto on my lap. He seemed to enjoy it and grabbed everything in sight. And now he has been sitting in high chairs ever since. We visited Old Salem and got a photo of Otto in front of some lamb's ears (which I am currently trying to grow in our garden). We also went to the Children's Museum which was super cool but geared for kids a bit older than Otto. Still we had lots of fun watching the kids play, tried out a few toys ourselves and ended the afternoon in the reading room. Our trip was a great one.
