Sienna's First "solid" food!

Sunday the 6th was a big night for Sienna (but probably a bigger deal to us than to her!) We gave her her first rice cereal experience (see video!) AND it was the first time she slept at night in her real crib, in her own bedroom. The rice cereal was way too runny, but I was just following the directions for "baby's first meal." At least she seems to be eager to eat with the spoon, or maybe it was just the spoon that she wanted more than the food! What a mess, but it was fun. She didn't eat that much though. It dawned on me later last night that I will have to now feed her cereal every night, which seems like such a hassle for some reason - maybe because it's a "new" thing to add to my day, when I've become so comfortable with the way things are - but I realize it will soon be no big deal.

As for sleeping in her crib, it just seemed like the right time, since she was sleeping through the night all last week, and she has just about outgrown the bassinet! It was nice not having to kick poor Chris because he is snoring, or to whisper in bed, or to watch the television at such a low volume that we are either laying at the edge of the bed to watch it, or spending most of our time trying to figure out what the characters actually said! She woke up at 2:30am, but I didn't mind.

That's all for now!

She really got into it! I'll have dad watch it when he gets home. Hopefully you won't have to push her head back next time, ha ha!

Yay! Love the blog! She is so cute, and getting to be a big girl with the rice cereal. It took Katelyn forever to figure out that she was supposed to actually be eating the cereal.
