As you know, Rooney has started eating baby food (is this really considered a "solid"?), and up until this last week, it worked out well when I fed him in his bouncer/rocker. 
However, the MD's office suggested feeding him baby food first (before formula) when he becomes hungry so I have been feeding him about 3 jars a day. For Courage and Rocco, this means 3 opportunites to try and steal said baby food. Since I only have two hands, and one is feeding while the other is protecting the bowl, it's been very hard to shoo the boys. I realized I really had to get Rooney to higher ground, so we broke down and bought a highchair this weekend. So far, this may be my favorite purchase yet. I have assured Courage and Rocco they will reap the rewards soon enough from Rooney starting to eat food. They just have to be patient. You'll notice Courage being patient in the above photo.
There were other new things this weekend besides the highchair. Rooney also started pulling himself up to stand. Now that's not new news since I wrote about it in the last post, but what is new, is that we had to lower Roonster's mattress again because he was standing in his crib and could lean over the edge. Lucky for Rooney he does not have the somewhat common abnormally large baby head, because it could have easily pulled him right over the side. So we have conquered, for now, the getting over the side problem, but because he is now standing, we took out the bumper, and are soon to face the "getting limbs caught in the slats" problem.
This should be good for a couple good blood curdling screams in the middle of the night.

Two more days and he'll have figured out how to grab those CDs.
