Wow, baby girl is growing! She started solid foods on Tuesday, February 3. She absolutely L-O-V-E-S it. Right now she's just getting oatmeal cereal but, she can't seem to get enough! I thought it would be really messy and she'd spit a lot out but, no momma's little piggie eats it all. Today she started crying when she ran out! I had to mix up another couple bites, jeez! I'm glad she likes it, she really loves to breastfeed and hates the bottle so we were worried she wouldn't take to solid foods. Wow, no need to worry now. We wanted to wait until after her 6 month well baby check to start, she has enough food allergies/intolerance's as it is. But, of course the Dr. looked at me like I was crazy, again! I really don't like him for a pediatrician for Emma. We've been looking for another but so far unsuccessful :( Anyway... Emma is babbling & "singing" all day and all night for that matter! She talks so much she does it in her sleep, I know, I sleep right next to her. We call it the family bed. And yes, so many have their opinions about it but, guess what its my baby! It's so much easier to feed her at night, I just roll towards her she eats and never really wakes up. The best advice I ever received (read) was that of Dr.Sears (askdrsears.com) he says '...baby should sleep where everyone gets the best sleep...." And for us, that's in our bed with us, I know that doesn't work for everyone but it works great for us. And no, she will not be sleeping in our bed when she 15 (everyone always asks). We'll know when it's time to make the change, probably when she starts sleeping though the night. Here's a picture of her eating her oatmeal for supper, enjoy!!!
