Food!

I've noticed Elizabeth having a rumbly tummy a few times recently, and she's increased how often and how long she is feeding. In the last 24 hours, she's had 9 feeds instead of about 5 or 6 that she was having a few weeks ago.

So, it's time for weaning! It's 2 weeks early of the recommended 6 months, but that's hardly anything really. This girl needs food!

She's also doing all of the other things they say are signs that they are ready, like taking an interest in adult food. She's been doing that for about a month. She is now trying to grab whatever we're eating. She watches us with big eyes and her mouth opening and shutting. It's very cute.

And she can hold herself up fine while in a sitting position.

We gave her with some baby rice this evening, Because I'm at work this week, I'm going to try feeding her at 4.30pm so that I can do it myself during the week. I've been looking through a recipe book and can't wait to try some of the purees. This week I think we'll get as far as baby rice, carrots and apples.
