At Sicilya's 7 week doctor appointment, her pediatrician told us we could start cereal within a few weeks if we were interested. At 7 weeks, i felt like i didnt want to rush things! we have known all along that we want to wait as long as possible to introduce formula, mainly because i dont want a reason to become lazy about nursing and pumping. Sicilya is my last chance for nursing my babies, something that i have always truly enjoyed and i want to take advantage of my ability for as long as i possibly can. But, now that i am back to work and she isnt in LOVE with her bottles, we figured it was a great time to introduce something else into her diet. so today was her first experience with cereal! and she LOVED it. she didnt even make a face! frank and i of course made a big to-do about it, we were all excited, expected a big mess because she would be spitting it out and rubbing it all over her face - well we were way off! she ate every bite in her bowl, she loved it so much we made her another bowl, just to use up the little bit of milk that was left in the bottle...and she ate all that too!
so at least now we have an understanding as to why she was eyeballing our food so intently - she wanted to try the whole eating thing for herself!! i become more and more amazed everyday with how quickly she is growing up. she is such a gift, a true miracle...our families completeness!
