Rice Cereal!

Last weekend we gave some rice cereal a shot. I wanted to start it on Saturday, but it's always hard to find exactly the "right" time. With Blythe it was a big event. Broke out the video camera and she had the full attention of Braden and I. Sorry Brynn, but as #3 you don't get the special attention. Actually we had a house full of people here to watch the VT vs NC State football game on TV. Braden cooked ribs and they were just ready and everyone was making their plates. Seemed like as good a time as any to squeeze in a "first solids" feeding. She did pretty well, but no one paid her any attention and no one got pics or video.

Braden grabbed the camera on Sunday though, so it's ALMOST a "first solids" video. Though actually she was a seasoned professional by then. Anyway, Sunday went pretty well too. Even with the sibling distractions she had to deal with.


In case you're wondering, Blythe had her face painted with a rainbow on her forehead and a unicorn on her mouth and chin. This was done at the neighborhood pig pickin that day. Here's another pic.



So anyway, we're now on cereal once a day. It's been hard during the week because I'd prefer she eat the rice cereal at home instead of day care (at least at the beginning while we get it going) but she's SO tired when she gets home.

Weird, Doug's been wanting a face painting just like that! Very.... um... creative. :)

I swear I have a picture of Braden with the same thing on his face
