Turning Point

Today, marked a turning point of a new page in Josie's life. Today, we tried the unthinkable...Josie's first taste of real food. That is right something other than her wonderful Mommy's Ta Tas. Well, kind of. It was diluted down Baby Rice Cereal. Lets just say it was interesting and funny.

We go back to the doctor next week for Josie's 6 month appointment and I know he is going to ask me how the feeding is going. Since, we talked about putting her on cereal last time. He had stated that around 6 months she will probably be ready for it. So, since Brent was off today we gave it a try. Is Josie ready for food? Well, kind of. Throughout the last few weeks her interest has increased. When we sit at the table to eat dinner she watches us very closely. She does not reach for our eating utensils when she is sitting on our laps, but she has a close eye on us. We just wanted to give it a try that way we can discuss the issue with the doctor next week. He may suggest that by the time we go back when she is 8 months to have her on something else by then, who knows.

Josie did know what to think of the entire situation this morning. We would put the spoon in front of her and she would just look at it not even open her mouth. After a little bit, she would open her mouth. However, once the cereal went in, out it went again. She mad funny faces and even spit it all out at one point that made a mess everywhere. Overall, it was a fun experience that we captured all on the video camera. She really did not get that much cereal if any I don't think. Perhaps we will try again tomorrow. The doctor said that when we first tried only to give it to her once a day in the mornings and only 1 tablespoon.



As far as the pictures, I am very disappointed. As all of you know we are looking for a new camera, because ours has a 3-4 second delay. So, lets just say that the pictures would have been a lot better if we had a new camera. Don't worry we are thinking about going and getting one either this week or next.

Have a wonderful day!
