5 months!!!

Oh dear blog readers, will you forgive me? I almost forgot I had a blog! Something about having 4 kids is really time consuming- every time I sit down to blog I feel like my attention is needed somewhere else, but now Henry is back in preschool and I have at least 3 quiet mornings a week, life is a little bit easier.

 Guess what happened today! My baby turned 5 months old, and decided she was ready for solid food. All my other children have been 6 months old when I started them on solids, but for some reason Amelia is ready now. So I mixed a tablespoon of brown rice cereal with a few tablespoons of water and sat down to see if she would take it. Now remember, this sweet baby has never even drank from a bottle, so I wasn't sure how it would all go down, but she loves it!! And what's even better, the kids think it's SO MUCH fun to feed her spoonfuls of the stuff, I'm pretty sure I'll never actually get a chance to do it.

Everyone crowded around for the big moment. We had the camcorder rolling- there was excitement in the air!

We were not disappointed, Amelia hammed it up, leaning forward to the spoon,  licking her face, it was precious.

Trying to process what she's actually supposed to do with this cereal stuff.

Concentrating so hard on eating this cereal! (Wait until she tastes sweet potatoes!)

Henry's going to make sure she gets every last bit.
