On Wednesday Addie had her 5 month check up and shots with the doctor. Her appointment went really well and she is a healthy little girl! At her appointment we discussed trying cereal because she just doesn't seem to be satisfied with just breast milk any longer and has been waking up in the middle of the night for a bottle. Her doctor thought she sounded ready, since #1 - she is sitting up on her own, #2 - she is trying to eat mommy and daddy's food out of their hand, and #3 - Dan nor I have any allergies to foods. I really wanted to wait until about 6 months, but I am also thinking that sleep is sounding really nice! I am hoping that this will help keep her satisfied throughout the night.
Addie after her shots. Such a brave little girl. She only cried for 30 sec. and was giggling at the nurses again. She did great the rest of the night as well! Look at her little Dora band-aids!
Last night was our first attempt at eating rice cereal. She didn't eat much, as she was trying to figure out what the heck her momma was feeding her! She did very well with it in her mouth, but didn't seem to like having the spoon put into her mouth. The faces she made were priceless and Dan and I were able to capture it on our video camera. Dan was running that as I was feeding her and taking pictures at the same time! So here are a few of the faces we captured last night!
She really did not like the spoon in her mouth!
Then we had trouble with her wanted to take the spoon from momma!
Tonight we will go for our second attempt and see how that goes! Wish us luck. She was still up around 1:00am, so I am hoping that once she learns to eat the cereal and not play with it, she will be full enough to go back to sleeping through the night again! Everyone have a great day :)
She is getting so grown up... Our doctor has us try cereal at a little after their four months.... But Collin and Harper are small for their age. You guys r doing such a good job!
