Hollaback Girl

A few weeks ago, I promised pictures of Cora and her first tastes of solid foods. Let me begin by saying that I don't know what all the rice cereal hype is about. Cora concurs. She didn't even eat a true bite of the stuff. "Mostly milk on a spoon? No thanks."


But oh bananas (and you thought beans were the magical fruit)!!! She can't get enough of them. We've tried avocados, apples, strawberries, green beans, pears, green peas, and carrots. She'll eat all of them as long as there is a banana chaser. I must admit that bananas are the ideal "first food"; they are convenient because they come in there own packaging and are easily transformed into "baby food". But everyone is worried that she might be getting too much of a good thing. So far, things seem to be "working out", if you catch my drift.


In other news, Cora has mastered the art of rolling over. She's been doing this trick for several weeks now, intermittently. The true problem arose when she began to rollover, from her back to her tummy, at night. We've been drilled to ALWAYS put her on her back to sleep, but she wouldn't stay there. After a rough couple of nights, we called the pediatrician's office and they suggested this trick with the towels. So far, it works.
