Yum-o

Cami has started on solid foods and while she isn't enjoying them yet, she isn't crying anymore so that is an improvement. Our doctor gave us the go ahead to start cereal at her 4 month appointment in the hopes that it would help her with her reflux.

So we went out bought Cami some new bowls, spoons and bibs (since my messy, messy man pretty much ruined every bib we had for him.) Oh yeah, we bought the rice cereal too. We mixed up some rice cereal and fed her one bite and she just lost it. I mean, I have never seen her cry so hard. You would have thought we fed her rat poison. So needless to say, we decided that maybe she wasn't ready for solids and waited about two weeks to try again.

She has done really well this week with the rice cereal. Brayden refused to eat it. He hated it so he was an oatmeal boy. We will try oatmeal and barley cereal over the next weeks and then on to veggies. Our doctor wants us to do veggies before fruit, which we did with Brayden but obviously it didn't help him develop a love (or even any toleration at all) since he a veggie has touched his mouth since he was an infant and we were feeding him baby food. Here's to hoping that Cami loves all things veggie!
