Rice Cereal

So, Julia had her first taste of food. Rice Cereal. Here is a picture of her getting ready to try food for the first time.

Her response was hilarious!  I have to post this video because it was just too funny to see her response to the "strange stuff" we were putting in her mouth.  We have tried it 2 times since then and she has gotten a little more open to the idea.  :)  (It's funny to see how much food we made for her...  This is all so new to us and I have learned since then to just make a tiny bit.) 




The other day I got to spend time at the mall with a friend, Elizabeth.  We met when we were both pregnant and took the "Bradley Method" birthing classes together.  What's crazy is that she was due several weeks before me, but we actually had our daughters 2 days apart and at the same hospital!  When I was at the hospital, she came by my room to tell me she was in labor.  :)  Ironically, we both had to have c-sections even though we had both prepared for and wanted to have natural births...  Anyway, I hadn't seen her since the hospital.  It was so fun to catch up and to see our sweet girls together.  Her daughter, Sophia, is such a cutie!

I thought it would be fun to go to the park again tonight since the weather was so nice.  So I packed some dinner and headed off to the park when Ethan got home from work.  It was so nice to be outside and relax as a family.

Yea for cereal! It takes awhile sometimes for them to figure out this whole eating thing, but once they get it, it's so much fun! Now you'll probably want to invest in a more plastic-y bib - they're much easier to clean food off of than the cloth ones. :)
