iPad goes on sale in the UK
I was up bright and early this morning to check out the line of people waiting for the iPad to go on sale in Apple's Regent Street store. It was definitely the place to be for any and all Apple lovers and the excitement was palpable. Here are a couple videos I took right before they opened the doors at 8am.
You say courgette, I say zucchini...
... and Ana says abobrinha. Whatever you want to call it, James will eat it. He enjoyed the courgette/zucchini/abobrinha that Ana fed him for lunch yesterday so we'll have to continue to the search for something that he doesn't like (now that apple has been removed from that list).

Sitting up
James can sit up on his own now, although he doesn't last for very long! We managed to catch it on video this morning... posted on Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/rachelbremer/4644563708/
Also, in case you were still surprised by the fact that there is a food James won't eat, don't fear... he's now gotten over his apple issue and eats almost an entire apple for breakfast in the morning. Maybe he prefers Gala to the Pink Lady apples I tried the first time... Gala are my favorite too, so I can understand.

We found one!
We actually found something that James doesn't like to eat... apples! I was very surprised (I love apples and applesauce!), but we tried two mornings in a row with no luck. However, he ate happily when we mixed in a little banana.
In other news, he has a new favorite toy, which you could be forgiven for mistaking for a dog's chew toy. It's made of rubber, has a squeaky middle, and is named Sophie. I can highly recommend this for anyone with a little baby....Lots of pieces to hold onto and chew on.

Feed me
James tried sweet potatoes for the first time this weekend and loved them. I think they might actually be his favorite becuase he smiled almost the whole time he was eating. Either that or he was just in an especially good mood. So, for those of you keeping track, the latest food count is:
Banana - the first food and still one of the most loved. He can easily eat an entire banana in one sitting.
Carrot - the second thing he ate he likes it, but it must be warmed to the exact right temperature or he won't go near it. He ate four medium sized carrots for lunch on Saturday.
Pear- the third thing he tried. Likes it although he sometimes makes a face for the first couple bites. I like that he gets a lot of water (or pear juice, I guess) along with the pear when he's eating this one.
Sweet potato - seems to be his favorite so far. Easy to mush up once it's cooked and stores pretty well in the fridge for a few days.
I'd really like to try avocado next, but the ones in the store are not very ripe right now. Maybe beetroot? We can also start to mix things up and I have a cookbook with "recipes," but that all seems a little too complicated at the moment. I kind of like the cook it and mush it plan we're following at the moment.

Five months old
Baby J turns five months old today. He's getting bigger and bigger (as one would expect) and is starting to look more like a little boy than a baby. I've been back at work for two weeks now and things are going very well so far. James absolutely adores Ana and they have lots of fun together... when I got home the other night she had done a handprint and footprint with James and some paint made out of beetroot. How cool is this?
He's now eaten banana and carrot and liked both, although he's a little picky about the temperature of the carrot (it has to be warm enough). Next on the list is pear, which we'll try out this evening. He's now having three "meals" a day and five milk feeds. In the next few days we'll need to cut out his 10pm bottle becuase he's definitely getting enough food otherwise. Not sure how that will go, wish us luck!
Sleep wise he's doing much better. We put him down at 7pm, give him a bottle around 10pm, and he sleeps soundly until 5am. His new thing is that he wakes up at 5am and wants to play for an hour, but then he gets tired again and goes back to sleep from about 6-7am. Now if we could just cut out that hour of playtime we'd be golden!
In other news, Ric and I went out on our monthly date night last night. He took me to see War Horse- a play that has gotten nothing but amazing reviews and is pretty much sold out every night. It definitely lived up to the hype. It's very cool how they were able to make a "puppet" horse seem so life life. Reminded me of the impressive animals in the Lion King play, which I'd also highly recommend.
Hope everyone has a great weekend!
