First Baby Cereal

Baby cakes is now 5 1/2 mths old and it is time to begin a new journey...FOOD. Where is the time going. She has become such a little person. I feel like the "baby stage" is on its way out and this adorable personality is blooming right before our eyes. I will say the first cereal attempt was interesting...not sure how much actually got in but she seemed to enjoy all the cheering and encouragement from her fans, aka sisters.

May ended with quite the adventure in this little life. We started the first official day on summer off with a trip to the ER and eventually admittance for several days. Poor little thing either had a reaction to soy formula the pediatrician wanted me to try or some sort of digestive virus. She began throwing up on Friday the 24th at 5:30am, and by 7:30 we were in a the ER. She went downhill very fast. Poor thing had several blood draws and of course an IV for re-hydration. Her white blood count was elevated and along with how lethargic she had become in a matter of hours we were admitted. Two full days of fluids and she was coming back to normal. It was surreal to me how quickly these little ones can go into an urgent situation. We snuggled a ton in the hospital and overall she was a trooper. She was a bit traumatized by all the pokes for blood tests, but seems to be doing so much better a week later.
