We are now well into the process of learning and mastering eating cereal. We are using the Rice cereal with Apple in it. We did the plain rice cereal for a while, but she didn't care too much for that. Since we've switched to the apple cereal, she seems to be doing a little better. She still doesn't seem to care too much for it, tries to spit it out, but she does eventually get it all in and she seems to be getting the hang of it a little bit more. We now have daycare giving her some cereal once a day there, too, so hopefully Emelia will get the hang of it to the point where we can start trying some other foods like peas, beans, and eventually some fruits. Emelia does get all messy, staying true to being a baby, but it's so darn cute and fun to be doing something new!
Last night we introduced a sippy cup to her, too. She was more interested in chewing on the spout, but she did try to get some of the milk out of it. I figured it can't hurt to introduce the thing to her and get her started on that. I bought a sippy cup for her to take to daycare, too, and try that!
It is fun to do all this new stuff, but it gets to be a little discouraging when she doesn't want to cooperate every time, but then I just have to remind myself that she is learning, too, and that this is all new to her! Similar to when she was first born and learning how to nurse and adapt to the life outside of the womb! She is a smart baby and will get it eventually!
