With a diagnosis of reflux, Addie's pediatrician suggested that we start her on rice cereal once a day to help things "stick" better and come back up less! We tried it for the first time Wednesday night. It wasn't bad...just very messy! We tried again tonight...and it was much more of a success! I think more went down than out this time! She actually seemed to enjoy it! (see the video below) Paul took some great pictures and here are a few...

"oooooh, let's see if I can spit it at you!"
"Just see how much you can catch as I spit it out!!!"
(our 4 month old definitely looks like she has a comb-over!)
we did get a few great smiles! :)

It's actually a little freaky to me with "the hand" and spoon coming out of nowhere! The dogs were just dying to get their noses (or mouths) into the bowl/spoon. I'm having to concentrate extra hard to 1) hold the camera, 2) get the spoon in her mouth while she's jumping around, and 3) keep the dogs out of it! Maybe I can still multi-task? She's obviously excited about something...but I'm doubting it's the cereal! :)
(i am officially asking for a digital video camera for Christmas...sorry this is so shaky!)
I may be a gramma but I think this is about the cutest video I have ever seen...and yes I think you are the definition of multi-tasking. xoxomargaret/gramma/gummi
ReplyDeleteSOOOOOO adorable! I think she liked it.
ReplyDeleteSo funny! Oh, I remember it well. Also, if you have a bumpo seat, you might try sitting her in that to feed her. We did that with Will before he could sit in a highchair. It worked pretty well.
