Rice Rice Baby

Today was a big day in the Lynch household!

Our little pork chop is one day closer 

to being able to eat a pork chop of her very own.

Elliotte had her first taste of rice cereal today.

She is a thinker

and likes to process things that are happening around her

before she responds.

And that's exactly what she did today.

She watched me make the cereal.

She watched the spoon coming towards her.

She watched me put it in her mouth.

Then she thought for a little while.

Then she stuck out her tongue, 

pushing the cereal back out.

I pushed it back in...

and voila!

Little one decided that she liked it!

She ate the whole bowl!

It was a very opposite reaction from Piper's first solids,

where she had such little interest 

that we ended up giving up and waiting for a few more weeks before trying her again.

Piper STILL doesn't have a lot of interest in food.

She's not a picky eater,

just has little interest in chowing down.

I believe that Elliotte may be our little eater!

Little One sees it coming...

... and starts the thinking process while the spoon is still in her mouth!

After deciding that cereal is awesome,
she opened her mouth right away for the food!

Pretty happy to be big enough for cereal now!

Piper is very proud of her little sister.
Here she is showing us that Elliotte is "this big".

And showing us that she loves her little sister
"this much"!
