Like all days I always call at lunch time to check on Addison to make sure everything is alright. Not that my mother-in-law does not know what she is doing she raised six really good kids. I still call just for my own sake I guess. Well, this time she told me that she cried herself to sleep because she was still hungry. At night when I am at home I noticed that she would still be hungry too.....I just did not know what to do. Well, Rosa (mother-in-law) told me maybe you can call your Doctor and start giving her a little cereal. Well, being to worry person that I am and want to do what is the very best for my little girl so...I did a little research. The first line of every article said..."Only you know your baby and what is best...you have to make the call." Most all the articles said if they can hold their own head up pretty much all the time, doubled their birth weight, and if they were between 3-6 months they should be ready to start with bland rice cereal. So that night....I drove to Walgreens bought some cereal and ventured out to she if she would enjoy eating with a spoon. I was surprised with how well she did! She did much better than I expected for her first time. Today, Nana fed her breakfast and Momma fed her dinner and she LOVES IT! Addison is a very happy baby once again even after she is through eating. We have added squash, sweet potatos, and carrots. She really likes her veggies....maybe we will try some green stuff next!
Orange for the season! Glad that she's growing so well.
