What a blast that was!!! She may be a bit early according to the local 'experts' but they also say when they double their birth weight they typically are ready for cereal and I know she is 14 lbs by now. I got the kind that you add formula to so I let her drink what she wanted of her bottle, because obviously that is the most important, and then with the couple of oz. she left behind I used the cap of the bottle and mixed in a tsp of rice cereal. She instantly blew raspberries and got it all over the place. She gabbed the entire time but she managed to swallow some and liked it a lot. At the end she even opened her mouth when the spoon came close. So funny. She really wants to help with her hands but this doesn't surprise me at all since from day one she has been very 'helpful'. It is going to be a blast feeding her solids in a few months. For now I think we will just do a tsp. in the morning for excitement before her bath...definitely before her bath!!! I took a video of this and I apologize that it is sideways but I had a blonde moment and forgot that I cannot rotate video like pictures. ;-)
