Mom's Visit and Rice Cereal!

This week was really good. David traveled to Chicago on Thursday morning for a dental conference, which he ended up having a great time at, and Mom came up to hang out with Abigail and I. We spent the majority of our time just hanging out and shopping up at the Legends. Mom is so good to treat me when she comes to town and this time she treated Abigail too! We hit the Carter's outlet hard and basically got Abigail set up for spring. The outfits are so cute and it's starting to be a little bit warmer here, so I can't wait to have her chubby little arms and legs out more. It was unbelievably fun having Mom here and participating with me in the day to day stuff.



After David came home on Saturday night, we decided to go ahead and start rice cereal. Our pediatrician recommended waiting until about 4 1/2 months for rice cereal, 5 months for oatmeal, and then 5 1/2-6 months for other baby foods. We really had no clue what she would think about it, but she did really good! The first night I made it really runny and it got everywhere, but Abigail seemed to have a good time and actually swallowed SOME of it. Some being the important word there. She did start opening her mouth for it near the end and tonight she did even better. I made it fairly thick tonight, which she seemed to like a little bit better. Here are some pictures from rice cereal, night one. We didn't take any more shots tonight, but it was significantly less messy.





Mom outfitted us with a Johnny Jump-Up as well, which we've been testing out. Abigail likes it pretty good and so does Deuce.



We're looking forward to another good week with some possible rain for our much-needed dry ground. We've also got some travel to Little Rock coming up that we're excited about.
