Solids!

I can't believe that our doctor told us to go ahead and start Kaitlyn on solid foods! My little baby is growing up too fast already!! She passed her four month check up with flying colors and is a whopping 12 pounds 10 ounces. Doesn't sound like a lot for a four month old, but we're excited considering how little she was at birth and technically being a "preemie." I knew that solids would be coming soon because we just couldn't keep her full! She was downing 6 ounces of formula every two and half hours! So we started with the rice cereal. The box said to make it really soupy the first time and Kaitlyn was a bit confused, but seemed to like it. (I have a video that I'll upload on here later of the experience.) The next day I made it less soupy and she really liked it. We did that for a week and now we've tried oatmeal. I wish I would have taped that! I couldn't feed her fast enough! She loved the stuff! I can't wait to see what types of foods she will like and won't like. And I love seeing her new expressions as she discovers new tastes. Mommyhood is just so fun!!!
