Ella's First "Food"

In it goes....

Out it comes...

I'm not so sure about this stuff.

Okay I could get used to this.

yeah we're all done!

We introduced Cereal to Ella today and wondered what her reaction would be. Aspen took to food like a fish to water, she was eating a bowl full of cereal a week after we introduced it to her. Well, Ella was a little different. First she really struggled with the whole tongue thing, when she went to swallow she pushed her tongue to the front of her mouth and that pushed out most of her food. From the first bit to the last bit she was pretty unsure about the whole thing. And that night and the following night after eating cereal in the evening she was up almost ALL NIGHT being a little cranky and a little gassy, but mostly awake. Brent has been telling me to start her on food for awhile now because it helped Aspen sleep better, well yeah right! Not only was she awake but she nursed like I'd deprived her of food all day! So we have switched to a lunch time meal and last night went much better. What an adventure having children is!
