I'm so frustrated   and I don't know what else to do.  Ethan still hasn't gotten the hang of solids.  When he was about 5 1/2 months he was doing great with cereal and stage 1 food.  About a month later, he caught a stomach virus and was pedilyte for a week b/c he couldnt hold anything in his stomache.  Ethan would either poop it out or throw it up.  Since then, he hasn't gone back to eating solids agains. I've tried giving him alittle bit of everything to see if he'll like the taste.  But he'll try a tiny bit and then pucker his mouth.  He also tends to push it back out w/his tongue.  I'm wondering if he's somehow associating his stomach virus to solids. 

Ethan's sleeping habit is another thing.  Because he's not eating solids, he's constantly hungry throoughout the night.  Or at least i think that's why he's waking up.  He won't go back to sleep without a bottle of milk.   His Ped. told advise us to let him cry it out but i don't have the heart or the patience to let him lay there and just cry.

Anyways, here are some pics of my little munchkin taken by monkeysandpeas.com, I can't wait for his 2nd round of pics to be taken since he's able to sit up on his own now.

The last picture is the one i have at work, every friday i imagine him saying, "yay for fridays" lol
