Food

We gave Noelle "solids" for the first time this past Sunday on her 19th week. I put "solids" in parenthesis cuz it was purposefully made so watery that I wonder if it qualifies anymore as a solid. =P She took 5 spoonfuls of rice cereal mixed with formula which is a nice start. She made this "huh?" face with each bite but at least she didn't projectile vomit into the video camera or chuck the spoon away. And since then, we've only given her milk...a haha. It's just too much of a hassle during the week. (Read: I lazy). When the doctor first suggested introducing solids to her, he told me to give her 2 spoonfuls in the AM and PM. I thought, "During our morning routine? HA! Not." I guess I don't feel that much pressure to give her solids since according to the baby bible, she's supposed to get most of her nutrition from milk anyway in her first year. So I'm taking it easy with the solids cuz 1) it's an extra thing to prepare and clean up and 2) I'm going to need time to research and hunt down all the assorted baby foods I want to give her cuz I'm anal like that. =P

And she is teething (I think) as she's mouthing everything in sight. It's funny how shark-like quick she is at grabbing things to go into her mouth. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that teething won't keep her up at night.
