Abby is now eating solid food! We started with rice cereal on her 5 month birthday (Jan 24). After about 2 weeks of that we started on sweet potatos, which she absolutely loves!!! Its a good thing to, because they are one of my favorites. She is now eating rice, oatmeal, sweet potatos, greenbeans, acorn squash and butternut squash. I am making all of her food by hand which has been kinda fun. It also forces Chuck & I to eat it as well. It will be a few more months though before we start her on fruit. Once she starts eating that on a more regular basis it may turn out that I have a picky eater and I don't want that. She absolutely loves eating real food now. There are days that I think she is gonna jump at me so that she can have her spoon and grab ahold of the bowl!! I have also notices a hige difference that it has made in her pooping and sleeping. We have pretty much always been able to tell when she has pooped because it smelled, but now it really STINKS!!! Now it is also formed. We are learning that we have to wait much longer than we did to change her diaper because when we think she is done she is not. Her going to bed at night hs changes too, for the better. She is not nearly as hard to put to sleep as she was before. generally by 10pm she is sound asleep. I love it, now I just need to get on a regular sleep schedule. I actually find myself pulling her out of her crib to sleep with her because I can't fall asleep without her........you win some, you lose some!
