just shy of 4 months. Depends on dc--but I could just tell w/mine that he needed a little something more than just BM. Gave him rice cereal, then oatmeal, then started on all veggies, 2 days at a time, 2x a day, and then on to fruits. Then you can start mixing foods. [ Reply | More

[ - ] this whole RFK reference flap, created by Obama's camp and the idiotic media, trying to smear Hillary, is just disgusting and shows how far they will go. How in the world do they figure she was reference an attempt to assassinate Obama? If, by some far flung effort of imagination she was referencing any current attempt, it could just as easily be against her. What a bunch of self righteous twits they are. Her candidacy is just as historical and endangered as his is. How dare they make it all about him, twist her intentions around, and blame her for something so nasty? And then, to top it all off, Obama "sympathized" with her. First, he has his campaign smear her, they media goes into a frenzy, they further their character assassination of Hillary, and then he pretends he is reasonable and admits he knows there was nothing to the claims his people made against her in the first place. This is the point where it becomes clear the game that they have played all along. 4 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

you wish it was only them, really it is a big part of the core of the party that support her. You can't just wish that away. The media is being ridiculous, and Obama's campaign did call this out, then he went back on what his own people said today, and said he knew that she didn't mean that. Which is obvious if you listen to what she said. [ Reply | More
