Louisa's first solid food

Louisa is really growing up fast. Last week we gave Louisa her first meal of something other than mommy's milk. (Well, actually it was rice cereal made with mommy's milk.) She is getting used to the spoon, right now she still needs to open her mouth a little more. It seems like she gets more on her face and on the floor than she does in her mouth. But we know she is getting enough to eat because Louisa is finally gaining weight at a normal rate. She has been gaining about an ounce a day for this whole week! Lou is up to 13 lbs 14.5 ounces! We are hoping she moves above the 17 percentile in the weight department. I am missing having a light baby though. It seems like the difference between a 12 pound baby and a 13 pound baby is huge! It seemed like I could carry Louisa all day when she was 12 pounds and now at almost 14 she really puts wear on a person's back.

So cute! She'll get better before you know it. And she may get messier too as she gets used to more solids! Fun age!
