This weekend was the start of a new adventure for us! Emily started eating rice cereal! Or should I say, she started spitting out rice cereal! We have noticed that bottles aren't sustaining her...she wants a bottle almost every two hours. So, although I wanted to wait until she was sitting up on her own, Blain went to the Commissary and picked her up a box and we gave it a try. Short version...she didn't like it but managed to keep a few drops down! We are going to try it once every couple days until she gets used to it and then start giving it more often as well as introducing some fruits and veggies. I'm not too keen on the baby food stage of growth (I enjoy the bottle stage and the feeding-themselves-stage) but am looking forward to finding the foods she likes! The pictures below is pretty much how the first taste went down!
ABOVE: Getting ready...not much of an expression!

ABOVE: "Uh...do I like this?"
ABOVE: "Uh...do I like this?"BELOW: "NO! I don't like it!" She gave me this look that said "Mom, what IS this?"
ABOVE: She slowly let it drip out of her mouth while staring off into space! It was quiet an eventful evening!
