Well done with the needles!
Oh he loved the rice cereal the first day, ate it all, then I think he realised it was pretty gross and wasn't quite as keen the next few days til I tried the sweet potatoes.
He's gummed me a few times too, normally when he's finished a feed, but I'm talking about pinching with his fingers. Somehow he manages to grab only the very top layer of skin so it KILLS!
Also discovered squeeling on Tuesday! Sounds like a seagull!
