[blparent] Michael update

[Leslie Hamric]

Hi all.  It's been a while since I've posted but I wanted to let everyone
know the latest on Michael.  First, this past Wednesday, Michael started to
stand up, with support, of course. My aunt was holding him and all of a
sudden, I heard her say he was standing.  Yesterday, Michael said mama for
the first time.  And today, he started rice cereal.  He didn't fight me or
turn away from the spoon but I think he didn't know what to do once the
spoon was in his mouth.  I suppose that's normal. I always heard that at
that first feeding, you'd get a lot more on him than in his stomach and
that's exactly what happened. In fact, he was such a mess that I just
decided to give him a bath.  He didn't turn his head away until he decided
he'd had enough cereal.  Michael's sure had a busy week!
