First Day with the New Mouth?

This morning was an exciting time in the Archibald household as Lily had her first taste of solid food. At least as "solid" as runny rice cereal can be. Lily actually did really really well. At first she shreaked with excitment, seemingly anticipating each next bite. She couldn't chew (or just swallow) fast enough.

It didn't take long before she became frustrated at not being able to take it in as fast as she was accustomed to with her bottle. Still, we are proud, excited and can't wait to try it again. Next week, we will advance to real flavors. MMMM...sweet potatoes!! Cant' wait!

It wasn't more than 15 minutes after the "Big Feeding" before she settled in for a "3 HOUR" nap. That about 2 hours and 45 minutes longer than usual.
