First feeding!



.

Alex had her 4 month old visit to the doctor and had her vaccinations. She is now 14 pounds 12 ounces and 26 inches long. Way tall for a 4 month baby. Dr said that she was a little underweight for her height but nothing to worry about. Dr also wants her to start eating solids so here we go! So we started with rice cereal today and she did really good.

She actually opened her mouth to let the food go in but had issues with swallowing it. Baby and Mommy had been practicing with the spoons so it wasn't a complete surprise but I was expecting a lot more spitting and mess then there was. She did eventually get fussy, so we stopped.

Here is a video of her eating and about at the fussy stage. Sorry about the video going sideways at the end; I still have not figured out camera/video technology.
