FOOD FOOD FOOD

This last week was a tough one for Seoul (and me). She started acting super hungry right at the 3 hour mark and waking up to eat at night, sometimes multiple times. Since she has been showing interest when we eat for the last couple weeks I thought it was time to try a little rice cereal. Woohoo!

First attempt: eat, funny face, out of her mouth it comes.



A few days later...

Second attempt: mouth open, eat, her hand helps me guide it, and sucks it all off the spoon. Success!



A few days later...

Third attempt: mouth open, eat, dribbles out her mouth. Less interest but ate some. No pictures - boring!

Next day...

Fourth attempt: mouth open, her hand helps me guide it, eats it all off the spoon, body shakes in excitement to get the next bite... cleans the bowl! I think she would have licked it if she could :)



I think she was ready for it. She likes it pasty - the consistency of instant oatmeal. We went straight for the spoon feeding instead of the bottle and I think she is good with it. The nights she ate a good portion of the cereal she slept through the night without eating again. Coincidence? Hm.

Cousin Amanda made the cutest bowl for Seoul. It's her favorite dish :)
