First Bites

So the birthday weekend was great! Well, except for the fact that David had to leave on my actual birthday to go out of town on business. But he did let me sleep in that morning and surprised me with an iced coffee! So sweet. The night before my birthday we celebrated with my parents. It was so nice to spend the time with them.

On another note, the pediatrician cleared us to start Savannah on rice cereal. She's been eating about a teaspoon a day (when I say teaspoon I mean I scoop a teaspoon of the dry cereal and mix it with water). Surprisingly she's been doing well. She gets a little confused from time to time and the food will just sit there in her mouth. Sometimes it will start falling out but she figures it out and swallows it eventually. A whole body shiver usually accompanies the swallow. It's so funny.

What I'm finding frustrating right now is that I can't get her to take breastmilk from the bottle. She has taken it from me a few times in the past but now she won't have anything to do with it. So she'll eat food but won't take a bottle. Strange. I was hoping to have her acclimated to a bottle so I can actually be away from her for longer than just a couple of hours. Oh well, I'll keep trying.

First bites.
