Solid

I always wonder who's reading this blog. It's a strange thing to know people are reading it but you don't know what they're thinking or how they're doing (you can update me on your life, too, you know). However, it's become clear to me that Alaina must be sneaking on the iPad and reading my posts. Remember how I have been complaining that she isn't gaining weight? Well, she must have decided that she didn't want to concern us anymore. In the last week, she went from eating an additional 20-24 ounces of milk/formula per day to eating 30 ounces. She even wakes up in the middle of the night hungry. And she seems hungry all.the.time. Holy growth spurt, baby. On Tuesday she weighed 15 lbs 8 ounces. On Saturday she weighed 16 pounds 2 ounces.

We decided we could no longer hold off on introducing solid food. I thought we would start with avocado or sweet potato but we decided to start with oatmeal cereal because it tends to be gentler on digestion and be fairly low-allergen. She.loved.it. Oh man, she knew just what to do and couldn't get enough. Our roly poly chunky monkey is back!

So funny!!

Seriously. See the jump in how much she ate in a week?? Insane.

 

 

Feet are still pretty yummy! 

She has also been doing this crazy dance where she shakes her head and moves her body. She's so silly. 

 

It's mostly when she's overtired. We try not to let her get so tired but it's hard when she refuses to nap...

Little girl loves to play. She's really been loving this little stacker toy that plays "twinkle twinkle little star." She mostly wants to eat the star (because she wants to eat everything??).

 

She's just a little doll. So crazy about her.
