The new recommendation for feeding infants solids is 6 months old. I have never waited that long to feed my other children but I decided that I would give it a try. Well I did try but only made it til Aleeya was about 5 months old. She was so ready to eat. How could you deny her food when she gets big eyes and just stares at the food and looks at you as if to say "Please Mom give me some". At first I just gave her a little rice cereal at bedtime. When it was all gone she would start to cry as if to say she wanted more. There were many times you couldn't get the food in her mouth fast enough. Unlike my other children she loves to eat.

Well just the other day we were having pizza for dinner, and she just started to get excited and get that look on her face again when she saw the pizza. Well she not ready for pizza yet, so I feed her some rice cereal and carrots, she ate it all gone. Then I decided to see what would happen if I showed her a slice of the pizza. She tried to sit up in the bouncy chair and reach as far as she could to reach it. It was awesome, and definitely a picture moment. I know it was mean to tease, but that picture was worth it and maybe next time we have pizza I will give her a pizza bone to suck on.

| Give my that Pizza NOW! |
I just took Aleeya in for her 6 month check up and she is healthy and growing well. She weighed 14# 6.5 oz and was 25 1/2 inches long. Dr Smith asked me if she was "perfect", my response was "Of course she is, she is mine." Dr Smith asked if I was giving her cereal, I didn't lie like I had planned to, but told him Yes, and that she loves food. He wasn't even upset at me. We all love her and are glad that she is part of the family, even if she eats us out of house and home.
