Rice cereal!

After much deliberation, I decided to start Gabriella on rice cereal. She would have normally started next week after her 4 month appt, but after 3 weeks of not STTN (after STTN since she was 9 weeks), with feeding times getting increasingly closer together overnight, and an overall feeling it might be time, I took the plunge. I was nervous she wouldn't like it, but man, to say that she loved it would be an understatement. She was almost attacking the spoon with her mouth. Granted, a good amount dribbled down her chin, but she did really like it and really started getting the hang of it at the end. I think I might make it a little thicker tomorrow. After she finished her entire serving, she downed a 6 oz bottle and is now sleeping....hopefully till tomorrow AM!! Fingers crossed!

This weekend was a busy one for Gabriella. She met her 5.5 month old cousin, Nicholas, for the 1st time. They were adorable together....very curious about each other and they even spent a little time babbling to one another. Gabriella also met her fellow fort monkey, Kendall, and mommy Jenna; both adorable!
