Tasty Treats

Last week Amelia was eating everything we put in her bottle, and then was waking up in the middle of the night to eat. We think she was going through a growth spurt, but she was still eating the maximum formula amount by the end of the week, so we called the pediatrician and got the go ahead for a small amount of rice cereal. We'll start with more solids in a couple of weeks, but in the meantime we're getting her used to the idea of solid foods.

She was a little skeptical at the beginning.

Why don't I just eat my bib instead?

Really?

I'm not sure about this.

Fine, but I'm not going to open my mouth for this.

Well that's not that tasty.

I'm still not sure this is a good idea.

Ok, I'm all done Mom.

In the end she ate about two tablespoons of rice cereal. By the end she was enjoying it more and seemed to get the idea about swallowing it. When she was done she proved she is Matt's child by wiping her mouth off with her bib and getting herself totally clean. Daddy was very pleased.
