Solids

So, Eden started on solids this weekend. She ate rice cereal on Saturday, Sunday, and Tuesday. Now, three days in, she is opening her mouth when she sees the spoonful of food coming in her direction. She still actively spits most of the food out, but she actually seemed to eat some yesterday. And it made Shane and me so sad that our little girl is growing up. Boo. 

I started solids because she still has had a rash of crying during the night, which, Saturday night she cried for like a couple of hours through the night--so starting solids didn't really fix that. Plus, she will be 6 months in five days now. Plus, Nana and Gramdpa were here this weekend and it seemed like a cute thing to do altogether. 

I didn't give her solids on Monday, just to be sure she wasn't crying so much because of the food, but she still cried. So my official diagnosis is still the teething. Also, to seal the deal, when we give her teething tablets and Tylenol, she goes straight back to sleep and doesn't cry again. She's lying in her bassinet now sweetly talking about "bah," at 5:45 in the morning. I love that girl. She'll prob sleep another hour after this interlude. Or, rather, she would if we didn't have to take her to daycare. Ho hum.
