First food

Well we are now at the 3 month mark, and although a lot of studies find you not supposed to feed infants food before 4-6 months, but this girl is hungry! So I made a small bowl of rice tonight mixed with mommies milk... And she devoured it!! She sat up and opened her mouth and came towards the spoon and actually put her mouth around the spoon... As if she has been doing this for months! She inhaled the food without spitting any out... All good signs Indicating the baby is ready for some food. She started freaking out because I wasn't fast enough... LOL! I have always had such a good little eater! She ate all that I had made (about 2 tablespoons worth). Took her bottle and was a very happy girl! I'm not sure what changed in babies that they can't have food till 6 months, cause when I was little I was given food at 3 months as well... And I'm alive and well... And since she is so hungry I thought I would give it a shot and if she didn't take it well I would wait another month, but she loved it!! Can't wait till 4 months and start giving her different types of food!! My little baby is growing up! I have done lots of reading and researching and found nothing indicating any deaths in kids for giving them food to early... So here we are starting rice cereal!

Happy girl

I have a smiler!! Melah is one happy little girl!! Her sleeping schedule is very hit and miss, but usually I'm only up once or twice at night. She is such a happy girl, only crying when she is hungry or tired! She loves to play with all of her toys, the newest being the exersaucer. She can turn the seat all the way around on her own, and even knows how to hit the buttons to make the music play!! It's so fun to see the new things she can do daily! Today mommy got some exercise in and went rollerblading with Melah, she loved the stroller and looking around! I can't wait till she is old enough to really enjoy all the ducks and animals! Bring a mom is the hardest thing I have ever done... But also the most amazing!! Melah is one special little girl! <3
