One more down, two to go

Finn got his third dose (of five) of Synagis (RSV medication) yesterday. Due to the amount he needs, they have to do two shots which is always tough. I think it is harder on me, than Finn, though. He was fine about 30 seconds later, especially when he got some juice for all the hard work! He had a mild fever later in the evening and was a little crankier than normal, but nothing too bad. He is done for now until next month.

As far as how Finn's solid eating is going...it is fabulous. He eats fruits, veggies and whole grain baby cereal (along with formula in a bottle) every day and other than a couple texture issues (which we just corrected with baby cereal), we haven't found any that he doesn't like! He even gobbled up lima beans this weekend! I am amazed at his appetite and palate. He still will not feed himself. He likes the puffs and the crunchies and will eat the biter biscuits when we bite pieces off for him. He will sit there and cry and open his mouth even when there are several snacks on the tray in front of him but will not even attempt to pick them up. Becky suggested the baby toast because it is bigger and might be easier for him to hold/pick up. Target didn't have any, but I will give them a try as soon as I find some. I'm sure in the near future I will be wishing for these non-feeding-self days, but it would be so much easier if he could do it himself.

The other thing that I find weird about Finn's eating habits is that he never stops eating or shows any signs of being full. Is it possible for a baby not to know when they are full? He has never stopped eating when I've fed him...ever. I keep giving him more until I can't imagine he has any room left in his little tummy. A couple times he has eaten so much that he puked a little afterward. I'm sure it is fine, I just wish he could give me some indication when he is full because I feel like I'm depriving him...but seriously kid, enough is enough :)
