The pictures say it all...

Really, these pictures are priceless, but for a quick commentary...today was the first day that Sadie Beth had any "solids" and she responded to them in typical Sadie Beth fashion. You see, from the beginning, our pediatrician has commented that it is likely that she has a little bit of a hypersensitive gag reflex. This is one possible explanation for the projectile vomiting we dealt with for the first 3 months or so of her life. Anytime she encounters anything "new," Sadie Beth responds with gagging....whether it be vitamins, medicine, gas drops, tylenol, etc. She might eventually come to like it (eg. tylenol and gas drops), but the first response is always a bit dramatic. And so it is with brown rice cereal...

Really?
I was getting worried...
"What are you making me eat?" says Sadie Beth.



oh dear...
Daddy gives it a try.
See, it's not too bad!


So I think she finished only slightly worse for the wear. The cereal must have gone right through her, because my baby who only poops every 4-5 days and then only in her "poo position" - (while relaxing on the boppy pillow in the morning on the floor) - decided to do her business before we even finished eating! what a riot. :)

I have a lot more to post, but this will do for now.

She is way too cute. :) Kendra does the same gagging thing when we try to give her the bottle most of the time. Little cutie pies. :)
