Marissa and the spoon!

So, Marissa had her first spoon fed meal this evening! We started giving her rice cereal through a bottle a few weeks ago and decided that she may be ready to eat from the spoon. As you can see below, she took the rice cereal and seemed to enjoy it. It was the funniest thing though, cause at first she was trying to suck the cereal off the spoon like it was the bottle. Even though Marissa is our second daugter it is like a whole new experience, especially since Rylee started eating much later. Clearly different doctors suggest very different things. With Rylee we never even gave her rice cereal in a bottle. She started eating right from the spoon, but she was more like 7 months or so. Marissa's doctor suggested starting her on rice cereal in a bottle and than moving on to other solids by 5 0r 6 months. Anyway, you can see in the first few pictures she was waiting in anticipation. And we had success with the spoon feeding!!
