Riley ate on 8/8/08
Riley had his first solid food today! I gave him a little organic rice cereal mixed with breastmilk and he loved it. It was awkward for him, of course, because he's used to sucking for his food, but overall he did really well. I fed him with one hand and took pictures with the other, as best as I could. Neil was bummed out that he wasn't there for it, but his days off are few and far between and I didn't want to wait any longer.
Working 12 hour days means that he kisses Riley while he's still asleep in the morning and, if I'm able to get him down by nine, kisses him when he gets home. Occasionally Neil gets to see him after he gets home from work, but it's only for a half hour or so. It's not ideal, but it's the way it is. River rescue season is over after Labor Day, though, and Neil will be on to his internship on an ambulance. We don't know where yet. Hopefully Newberg or Redmond. My dad knows the Redmond fire chief and put in a call for Neil and it looks like it might go through. It's much better than Las Vegas or South Carolina, the only other options for PCC students right now. It's slim pickins.
Happy 8/8/08! It's a day to create abundance.
Love,
Aislinn
