Cheerios, Green Peas and San Diego


We had some relatives over and drove to San Diego for the weekend. I always thought San Diego's only attraction is Sea World. How wrong was I! It is a big city and has numerous interesting attractions. One need to spend a few days to see San Diego. We spent a night there and managed to see quite a fair bit. Went to the Balboa Park (not the world famous zoo though), Old Town, Coronado, and Embarcado. Not bad considering there were 6 of us and a baby.
Lucas had to eat commercial baby food. I got him new flavours - turkey, vegetable and cereal; green peas and rice cereal. The turkey was fine but the green peas sure reacted. He farted the whole night. I guessed that must be the green pea's work! He also ate non-stop. When we sat down to have our meal, he had to have something to eat too. I gave him Cheerios and he was gulping them. That was like an hour non-stop eating cheerios. He has learned to feed himself. He can pick up food using his thumb and index finger and put them in his mouth. Gone were the days where he pulled my hand to ask for food. Now, he just helped himself until the cheerios on this tray is finished.
It was quite hot in San Diego. On the second day, we walked along the bay and Lucas has a mild 'California tan'. When we got home, his body was feeling warm but luckily it was not high temperature. Must be too much sun. With the fart, warm body and excitement, it took us till midnight to put him to bed!
