Molly did so good eating her first bowl of rice cereal!! The dr said to wait until 5 months...or even 6, but baby girl was ready! She hardly even spit it out! I think she really ate a lot of it. Another reason why we decided to go ahead and start food is b/c she won't take a bottle. Geez...we have been having a time with her! I have to stop taking her with me to work so I need her to take a bottle once while I am at work. She was taking one with no problem up until I needed her too! So, I figured if I started her on baby food she can push back her feedings to closer to 4 hours and she will be fine to wait to eat until I get home (since I work 9-1) I know she won't starve to death but I hate for whoever is watching her to deal with the fussiness! Anyway, she did so good and the way she scarfed it down, I am confident that she is ready now instead of waiting a few more weeks. This video doesn't show her first spoonfuls, but her first 2 bites, she didn't even spit any of it out! Maybe she will sleep a little better at night too...but we will see! Oh and if anybody has any tips on getting her to take a bottle, do tell! I think I have tried everything and every bottle available! (the video is not showing up in google reader, so if you want to see it, then you actually have to go to my blog page)

Isabelle did the same thing...she took a bottle and then went through a phase where she refused it. All it took for her was moving up to the next nipple stage. That worked for several months but now she is just disinterested in it. She just chews on the nipple. If you find something that works, let me know!
Love the video! She's so big!
Luke did the same thing at first with bottles. A friend of mine suggested the Adiri bottles and he did great with those. Here is the website:

They have them at Babies R Us. They are kindof expensive (for a bottle) but they were so worth it for us!
leisha, i got that bottle thursday (they have thema at target too) and she didn't really take to it either. i was so disappointed! but i am going to keep offering it to her so we'll see!
I wish I had some tips. My big ole boys ate whatever food came at them without question. Including cereal at an early age, too!!
And I love those kicking feet! She was pumped!!
Coming over from the Crazy Carnival. Enjoyed reading your post. Love the leg picture! I'll come back and check on your blog again!
