my little girl is growing up...

so in an effort to curb the sleep issues she's been having matt and i decided we'd try giving alice baby rice cereal with her bed time bottle. i was prepared for her not to like it. i was prepared for her to spit it out. i was even prepared for her to scream bloody murder, but the kid surprised me...she wolfed it down! here's hoping this does the trick! mommy is used to sleeping through the night!


"hey where's my bottle?"


"what's this stuff...this isn't formula!!"


"hmm...this isn't half bad."

"MORE MOMMY MORE!!!"

"ahhh...heaven!"

and she ate ALL of it...plus a bottle!

SIDE NOTE: the funny looking seat she's in is called a bumbo. it allows babies to sit upright and feel like they are on their own and not leaning against something. she really loves to sit upright and she likes this much better than being propped up against the couch. another one of those "you don't need it and it's horribly overpriced" items, but she really seems to love it so why not indulge the kid?? i also just found out they make a tray for it so i think i'm going to have to order one. :)

I just heard about that bumbo - I thought it looked so cool - glad to see that you have one and it really works - wich they would have made that when I had little ones. Looks comfy to me. What a big girl!!

yeah i meant to write you back, but i forgot! alice really seems to love the bumbo, especially when i'm at the computer. heh, she likes to sit on the desk and play and watch the computer screen. :)
