Trying Rice Cereal

Another thing the pediatrician told us at Emily's 4 month check up is that we could start trying to feed her rice cereal--at the time, I didn't think she was ready. As the weeks go by though, Emily becomes more and more interested in what we're eating, and is much better at sitting up (two of the signs she's ready for food), so we decided to give it a try.
She definitely knew what to do when the spoon came close to her mouth,


but the swallowing part still needs a little work!

She opened and closed her mouth at the right times to take what was in the spoon, and then spit it out each time.

We don't know if she's not quite ready or just isn't used to the taste yet, but we'll keep trying a little bit each night until she's mastered it!
