More first for Molly

Friday at the doctor, Molly had her offical weigh in. She is up to 14 lbs 1/2 oz (60%), 25 inches long (75%). She has a little head though still, only in the 25%! We also talked about other options for eating for Molly because the bottle has become a knock-down-drag-out fight to get 3 oz of pumped milk down her. So, we are starting Rice cereal. After she gets that down, we can move onto orange veggies! She also got her 4 month shots, and was such a big girl! She only cried until the two nurses let go of her legs! Then she was all smiles!

Today, Molly had her first taste of rice cereal. However, the consistency that the doctor told us to make it was more like milk, than like cereal. I think that she liked it once she figured out how to eat it though. She has also been fighting the bottle really hard, and almost refusing to eat when Mommy isn't around to nurse her. So, after trying about 6 different nipples on 4 different bottles, cup feeding, syringe feeding, and finger feeding without success, we tried the sippy cup! She likes the sippy cup. Who would have thought that my 4 month old baby would be drinking from a sippy cup, but that is the only way to get her to take milk if I am not nursing her! And even better, she takes it from Mommy, which she wouldn't do with the bottle at all! She is just getting so big!
