Priceless

Since Shelby is powering down milk these days at an unbridled rate, we decided we would give rice cereal a try. I am pumping like a crazy lady and am barely keeping up with her.  Since she is a big as most 6 month babies and as long as an 8 to 9 month baby, it makes sense that she has an extra large appetite for her age.  Most agree babies are ready to start minimal solids around four months and since she is several weeks past that mark, we gave it a whirl. She is sleeping pretty poorly too, so perhaps this will help.  Once she gets the hang of it, I’d like to try a more nutrient dense food like yams, banana or avocados, but we have to start somewhere.

How did it go you ask? We’ll you’ll have to take a look for yourself and if you don’t have time for a video – a picture is worth a thousand words.

In a nutshell, she really didn’t quite know what to do with herself.  I tried it again with her a day later though and things already went much better. She has been a chow hound since day one, so I have no doubt once she discovers how to shovel this stuff in her mouth, she’ll be all for it!
