Adventures in Rice Cereal

yippidy skippidy, Ashlyn started some solids! At her 4-month visit the doc said he wanted us to get her started on them, but I was hesitant and had mostly read that it's best to wait until 6 months. She was not having any problems gaining weight (obviously, she is like the size of a 7-month old!) and she wasn't having trouble sleeping at night or anything. So I decided I'd wait until 5 months to start introducing them. Last week she got her first taste!


yum! I think her "nasty" face is so hilarious!





This was what had happened by the end. She really didn't get the concept of once it's in your mouth, you swallow it. Everything came right back out and all over her face. But she ended up looking like Colonel Sanders so that was okay with me! ha ha! By the way, she has had a couple more practices and is doing much better at keeping it down now!

It is always so funny feeding them "real" food for the first time, there is always a classic face! She is the cutest little thing ever!
