Two days and two big events

Well Annabell has had a very eventful 2 days. We introduced water to her yesterday, which was alot of fun. We were so excited to get her into the highchair for the first time (for drinking or eating) and see how she did with water. Her face said it all, she was shocked by the taste in her mouth. From what I read we should introduce her water with out a sippy cup top at first so she doesn't become dependant on sippy cups. So we did 2 trials, one with out the top and one with. She loved the freedom of being able to taste on her own; but her accuracy wasn't the best..ha. Enclosed is some video and pictures of the event. Big event #2 was the intro to food! She had rice cereal for the first time today, well if you can even call it that, I had it so watered down with breast milk that it barely had texture to it. She actually liked it...not that much of it went down the hatch but more all over her face. She enjoyed it though. We are 3 weeks shy of her 6 month b-day which is when I wanted to give her solids, but she woke up every two hours last night to eat...after that and talking to my aunt Jackie and the advice of my father we decided to go ahead and try out the rice cereal. Time will tell this week how she will do. I think we will wait until the new year for anything else to be introduced. I also included some video and pictures of her first feeding. Love ya'll!

How much fun! She is pretty dressed up for her first drink of water. And, yes, a bib is very highly recommended for food times... Good luck to you guys.
