Not so Yummy Rice Cereal

Although it is popular that babies start eating solids at four months Mommy chose to wait longer because it is what the books claimed to be best for babies. Megan's doctor specifically asks too that Megan should wait till Megan is six months. Their reasons are that research has found that babies that started early as four months had more allergies, and more prone to get diabetes and obese as adults. But lately, Mommy had to wake-up every hour to feed Megan from around three a.m. because Megan is just not satisfied anymore. So last Monday, Mommy gave up and bought Megan's first rice cereal. Mommy chose gerber cereal after lots of reading. Mommy mixed Megan half a teaspoon of cereal into her 4 fluid ounces of dinner milk. Megan didn't have a problem so Mommy gave it to Megan again the following Morning. And Mommy has been giving it to Megan that way once in the morning and once at night right before bedtime.

On Thursday night, right before Grey's Anatomy, Mommy and Daddy sat to give Megan her first spoon of rice cereal with milk. Mommy got Megan a pretty rubberized spoon just for babies that day for Megan's first real dinner! So Mommy showed Megan her spoon half filled with rice cereal while Daddy was watching. When Megan saw it she grabbed it so fast and shove it in her mouth! Mommy and Daddy were both very shocked at the accuracy of the spoon going into the mouth BUT Megan tasted the rice cereal and gave us a wrinkled unhappy face. Pulled out the spoon then stared at it again. After a moment Megan shoved it to her mouth again and still didn't like it. Megan tried to like the cereal but Mommy guessed Megan was just not ready yet. Daddy and Mommy just laughed and enjoyed Megan's spirit though in trying her first spoon of rice cereal. Mommy tried it again this morning but the same result so as of now Mommy just decided to mix a bit of it on her formula and give it to her slowly. Taste is acquired and hopefully Megan will learn to acquire the taste after so many times of tasting a bit in her formula.

Complete Roll Over, Everything is Food

This morning at around 6 am Mommy saw Megan roll completely for the very first time. Mommy noticed that Megan's favorite belly time is in the mornings right after Megan wakes up.

Tonight, when Mommy was bathing Megan, Megan was grabbing the shower head and motioned to put it in Megan's mouth! Of course, the shower is too big plus Mommy stopped Megan because shower heads are not food!. Megan puts everything Megan can grab into her mouth. Megan even grabs her toes everyday and try so hard to put them in her mouth. Laugh out Loud.

Mommy is so tired today, since it is Mommy's first day as Customer Sales Service Representative in the bank and had to do a lot of pre training work but Mommy had to blog this.

Five Months and Crawling

Mommy watched with amazement Megan turning to her belly and started crawling! Megan is only five months old but is starting to crawl. Well it is still a little crude Mommy would discribe it. Megan would have her bottom and her knees bent but her chest are still in the bed but Megan sure crawled. Megan has also routins now. Megan wakes up around 6-7 am to talk or Mommy should say coo. Megan's Aunt Xochella came and visited us, saw Megan for the first time. Megan made Aunt Xochella very happy that she bought Megan so many clothes and walker. Megan is so happy to use her walker. Megan smiles so big. Mommy and Daddy bought Megan some hair clips and Mommy and Megan wear them together, matching. It got Lola Cecilia so excited that she took pictures of Mommy and Megan. Mommy also put every night Megan to sleep in her crib with little monkey O Malley. Mommy named little monkey after George O Malley of Grey's Anatomy (Mommy and Daddy's favorite tv show). Megan hugs O Malley every night in her crib and makes Megan feel safe and warm.
