Gia has officially started eating rice cereal. Originally I was told by the doctor to wait until 5 1/2 - 6 months, but she wasn't gaining weight for about a week, so the doctor's office suggested that I go ahead and start her on it. She only eats it once a day, and it's only about a tablespoon of cereal, but hopefully it will help her gain some weight.
I know in the pictures it looks like she doesn't like it, but this is what happened: Gia was crying as we put her in the Bumbo seat, and then Bobby started snapping pictures right away. As soon as she realized she was getting food, she cheered up and enjoyed it. So, although it looks like she is miserable, that was not the case.
It was SO much fun to feed her! She is hilarious to watch! I love seeing her open her mouth for the spoon, blow bubbles in the liquidy-cereal, and then make faces as she figures out how to swallow it. We look forward every night to feeding her.
