First Food

Last week I took Jenna for her 4 month check-up. She is doing great! She weighed 12.5 lbs and was 24.75 inches. Her weight is still fairly low, but a bit better than it was before - the doctor was not concerned. She had two shots - and did great with them! She cried right after the first prick, but the nurse was quick and Jenna recovered quickly. By the time I was able to pick her up she had stopped crying. The doctor told me that she could start eating solids anytime between now and her next appointment. We decided to give some very runny cereal a try last night. She did great! Everyone (including the doctor) had warned me to expect her to spit most of it out and to hate it. She seemed to already know how a spoon worked and after 2 or 3 bites she was opening her mouth when we got the spoon to her mouth. She did spit out one bite, but otherwise she ate it very well. Tonight we made the cereal slightly thicker. She wasn't sure about it at first, but after a couple bites was opening wide anticipating bites. We think she actually likes it. What a funny babe!
