Let the feedings begin

We started both girls on rice cereal this weekend.  Siena has been showing signs of being ready for a little while but I've been in total denial.  I thought I would be excited for this milestone but it turns out I'm in complete denial my girls are getting this big.

So I finally relented and we did our first rice cereal on Saturday.  Here's how it went down.




Actually it went better than I thought it would with a few funny faces but not as much as I was expecting.  And since then they've both been eating pretty good.  The first bite is always followed with a look like why are you putting this in my mouth but they get more in than they push out which I think is a good sign.

The first day we used their bumbo to feed them and it became apparent pretty fast that it wasn't going to work like that for long.  So I suggested to Shane that we get out their high chairs to which he replied, ok.  I then turned to him and said "REALLY?"  to which I got a weird look like why are you freaking out when I just agreed with you.  It was a test...I'm so not ready to have 2 high chairs in my house.  Not that I care about the high chairs but that just means I have 2 girls old enough to sit in them.  I know, TOTAL DENIAL.  So we did it and they actually love sitting in their high chairs so I guess it turned out ok.  Here's a picture of them in their high chairs the 2nd morning...yes I left the rice cereal on their faces on purpose.

Awww, I've been waiting to see this post. I can't believe how little they look in their high chairs, and how messy their faces are. Ha ha!

Oh my gosh! Big bathtub, high chairs, rice cereal, 5 months old...holy cow! It feels like everything comes so fast now! We still haven't put Max in his high chair but we totally need to. I love all the faces and updates. You've inspired me to work on MY blog this week!
