First solids.... rice cereal.

So we decided to give cereal a try tonight.... here are some pics.

Ummm, what is that exactly?





What? I can't eat my hand AND the cereal?





Ok, now what?





Here, let me help!


I'm losing interest in whatever this stuff is you're feeding me.


She had several bites, but then was just spitting it all back out. So we had our usual bottle.


And she was out.


Unfortunately that only lasted about 30 min and she woke up doing that screaming/crying and face rubbing like she was doing the night after her vax. At first I thought maybe the rice cereal didn't agree with her tummy, then I thought maybe it was her gums (although my pedi says she's not teething... I'm not convinced), or even some left over icky-ness from the vax, but after an hour of trying various things I finally wound up giving her 2 more oz and she finally fell asleep. Oy. These last three nights (since vax) have been no fun. She has fought me on her AM naps and completely skipped her afternoon naps. By the time bed time rolls around she's in rare form. I hope this passes quickly. Think we'll hold off on more cereal for a week or so too.

Oh and I'll have to take a pic in the morning to show everyone our custom made sleeper for McKenna. All of her current sleepers are too short and too small in the feet. So Craig suggested we cut the feet, "Ya know, like Flashdance"...LOL. So we did. It looks pretty funny, but hey.. it works and it's free (vs. buying more sleepers!). ;-)

Ok, that's all for now. It's now closing in on 9pm and I never had dinner, so I need to go find something light to snack on before I call it a night. Have I mentioned that McKenna has become an early riser? Yup. Every day between 5:00 - 5:30 am. Needless to say, Mommy is tired.
