So we decided that it was time for Kayden to have some rice cereal last night because she was breast feeding for 30 minutes and sucked down two 8 ounce bottles in record time. My baby was hungry!! Not to mention she was mouthing every time I was eating- which, yes it was frequently because I am at home and the darn cupboards are full of my favorite things! This is why it’s dangerous to be a stay-at-home mom. I do the shopping and therefore buy what I like and then I eat it all. Okay, so this isn’t about me! After Scotty and I went to dinner with Nam we came home and fed Kayden her first “food.” Rice cereal can go in the bottle or be spoon fed. We figured since it was her first food other than mom juice or formula, we might as well spoon feed it to her. Surprisingly, she picked up on the whole spoon-to-mouth thing pretty quickly! She had fun, we made a mess, and she was a happy girl. For the record, she still woke up at 2:30 for a mid-night snack! She also busted out of her swaddle (which is called a miracle blanket because the arms are strapped down three times!). So anywas here’s Kayden enjoying her first taste of food:

Scotty and I had fun taking turns feeding her!

Today I decided to put some rice cereal in her bottle because yesterday she was clearly very hungry during the day. Nam was on duty so she fed her while I took a shower. Kayden took 8 ounces of formula with rice cereal mixed in!! I couldn’t believe it. I think she’s going through a growth spurt! She is now napping in her crib listening to a little Baby Einstein while I watch her on the iPad. Technology is great!
