Real Food...

After Lydia's 4 month appointment the day after Christmas we went to the store and got Rice Cereal. Dr. O'neill told us to try it once a day for a while and then increase to twice a day. We were both really excited to try it because we knew she was going to be so excited about it. Apparently she absolutely HATES it. It could be that it dosen't taste very good, but if you have ever tried formula that is pretty gross too, so I'm not sure that is it. I am thinking it is because I have the greediest eater ever!! For those of you who have had the pleasure of watching Lydia devour a bottle (she takes 7 oz in MAYBE 4 minutes and don't even think about trying to stop in the middle to burp her...) you are probably already picturing how our attempt at feeding from a spoon went. She did great until I tried to take the spoon out of her mouth. She was highly offended, grabbed the spoon and wouldn't let me take it out of her mouth. She started doing a little better, but by the end was just exhausted from getting so frustrated.

So then we decided we would try baby food and see if that went any better. Dr. O'neill told us to start with vegetables, so we went for a yucky one first: peas! Don't think she likes those either!
