My sweet little angel is 5 months old today! Craziness!! On Sunday we started giving Loralye rice cereal. Our pediatrician convinced us not to start at 4 months like most people do because she is exclusively breast fed and at her 4 month check up she was still completely satisfied after each feeding. But lately she has been acting strange after each feeding... She acts like she wants more and then cries because she really doesn't. So rice cereal it is! I've heard from many a mom that babies can have a hard time with it at first so it's best to make it thinner than what it says on the box. The result? Loralye spewing slightly thickened breast milk all down herself. She didn't seem overly excited by the experience, but not totally unhappy either.
You see that "Eh. That was kinda weird and unsatisfying." look she has? She acted like it was a pretty boring experience, so last night I decided to thicken it up quite a bit. The result was much more unpleasant for Loralye and much more entertaining for Aaron and I. Poor baby. At least she'll get used to it quickly. I hope.She started off pretty content...
and she even gave mommy a smile!
And then the calmness wore off and she was not thrilled with her situation! Oh ick!
Oh please, no more!
Mom this is awful! Stop the madness!!
Oh we parents torture our kids sometimes. She'll live though and she needs to learn how to eat! And she'll be shoveling down steak like her daddy in no time I'm sure. Especially if her teeth keep popping through. 2 teeth at four and a half months! Who would have thought?! By the way... I've tried a zillion times to get a picture of those two little front teeth, but Loralye is determined to not let me!
So! When we were in Clovis for Jesse's graduation, Aaron, Loralye, Jesse, my mom, and I all went to Men's Wearhouse to get Jess new slacks and a new shirt for graduation and we decided to get Aaron a couple new suits too. His old ones were from before he left on his mission! Yeah, they're 9 years old. Needless to say, Aaron was beyond stoked to wear his new suit on Sunday. It's a 3 piece and he looked so darn sharp!
Here's daddy and bunny all ready for church!!
Last, but certainly not least... My dad was in town yesterday for an insurance conference and they finished a little early so he stopped by the shop for a bit before heading off to the airport! Loralye sure loves her Papalapa!

LOVE the cereal pictures! I so remember they first experiences of cereal and babies. It's a mess and they are not too thrilled! :/ It is quite entertaining however! :)
Aaron looks sharp in his suit and Loralye is a doll all dressed and ready for church!
Cute Papalapa as well! :)
I'm sure you've got all the advice you could have but I thought I'd tell you I mix the rice cereal with apple juice instead of water. It tastes much better. My kids seemed to like it.
As for family names...Nicole Leigh Dutson Rollins, Benjamin Val Rollins, Luke Val Rollins, Caleb James Rollins, and...I don't know yet.
so adorable!!
hahaha, even though she hates every little bit of that food, she still really looks so dang cute.
