and yet ANOTHER Milestone...

So many milestones lately! The boys going to the dentist, Mimi retiring. And now, Maddy has hit a milestone of her own.



A couple of weeks ago (yes, it's taken me weeks to do this), she started eating cereal!!! At her 4 month check-up, I was told I could start her since she had such good neck and head control - not to mention a voracious appetite!!! I didn't start her right away, because it felt like the first step to my baby not being a baby anymore and I was trying to delay that as long as possible!! So I waited until Mimi came for her visit the first week of May so she could share in the experience.



First, got the good 'ol Gerber rice cereal.....






(ignore the peanut butter - I should have moved it out of the shot!)



Then got the high chair out of storage...

And she was ready to go!!

Here are some stills:

She loved it!!!!

My goodness - isn't she GORGEOUS????!!!!!

And here's just a goofy shot of me giving my princess a smack - of the kissing variety!!

And just to let you all know, the eating of the cereal has NOT helped her with the sleeping through the night. I'm still the bleary-eyed, sleep deprived mother of three. Which helps explain why it takes me weeks to do my blog posts..... :)
