Robert had his first food: rice cereal.
He enjoyed it and leaned in to get more.
His second food was sweet potatoes, which he loved.

Sealed-in for sickness
We've been on lockdown at our house. No one in or out.
Oatmeal for breakfast. Soup for dinner. Bottles filled with Pedialyte. And cough syrup chasers all around.
Humidifiers running full-steam. Netflix instant queue emptied. Empty tissue boxes and cough drop wrapers litter every corner.
We are sick. No, it does not make me feel any better to know that so many more people than usual are sick as well, even when that includes the healthiest friend I have (sorry, Anna).
Fortunetely, we are (sort-of) on the mend. For two weeks I litterally have not left the house except for visits to the doctor and the two days last week I stayed at my inlaw's house and they watched Robert so I could sleep. (Thank you Lori and Katie!)
It's really not breaking news that I'm not feeling well. I have been sick off and on since before we got Robert. I don't recoup very well to begin with and less sleep has reduced my immune response even more. But it is saying something that both Robert and Dustin have been sick too.
Two weeks ago Robert started with a cough. Then Saturday night he was having trouble breathing and he got to see what the emergency room is like in the middle of the night on a weekend. I'm hoping it was a boring and long enough visit that he won't ever want to go back.
He had RSV with bronchiolitis, but his oxygen saturation remained high. A few days later they did try an oxygen treatment, but it didn't really help.
Update: we are all doing better.
