They say your baby is ready to start eating solids when they start being interested when you're eating, watching your bites, grabbing for your fork. Well, Stella has been like this for a month or so with the addition of growling, squealing, and lunging off my lap toward the food on my plate. And she went from being a 12 hour per night sleeper to a wake up every 4 hours screaming her head off sleeper. Not fun at all.
(check out those chunky knees and wrist rolls!)
So today, on her 5.5 month birthday, (during naptime so Landon wouldn't see what was going on and think that it was something he should try doing), we busted out the rice cereal and man, oh man, did Stella eat! Seriously, we couldn't spoon it up fast enough. She kept smiling up at us like she knew that she was finally being treated like a big kid!
(blowing some cereal bubbles)
Our fingers are crossed that the cereal will be what her fat little tummy needed and that she'll sleep super well tonight. Otherwise, we may be recruiting one of the grandmas to move in and stay up all night rocking her!
