Doctors and Rice Cereal

Yesterday Bella had her 4 month well baby checkup. It went really good! She weighs 14.9 lbs and is now 24 inches tall. He said that developmentally she is at a 6 month level, and he told her that she can slow down a little bit because mommy already thinks she is growing too fast. So true!

He also gave us the go ahead on starting solids. So today we started her on rice cereal. I can't believe how good she did. I think she likes it!


Feed me already! I'm hungry!


Hmmm... I'm not quite sure what we are doing..


Now what, mom?!


She was WAY more interested at first in Meeko.
And Meeko was WAY more interested in what the baby was eating!


She likes it! Yay!


Overall, a success! She was such a trooper! After a few bits she did get the hang of swallowing. I was really shocked that she caught on to it so fast. Once she has gotten the rice cereal thing down, he said to try green vegetables, yellow vegetables, and lastly fruits. He said you start with the worst tasting and trickle down. I had no idea, but it makes sense!

She looks like she loved it! I have never heard of trying the worst and trickling down either, but it does make sense, my boys loved it all. She is such a cutie! We need to get together more often. Hopefully my life will calm down soon!
