We didn't have a lot going on this weekend, so we decided we wanted to make it a point to get Emily out of the house. In the past, Emily hasn't been very cooperative whenever we take her out in the stroller. Usually after about 5 minutes, she starts screaming. We thought we would start small, so we headed over to Lowe's to look at some grills for outside. But this time instead of putting her in the stroller, we decided to try out the Baby Bjorn for the first time. Our good friends, Steph and Luke, swore by the baby bjorn, so we were hoping this might be our solution. Since she's getting bigger, we faced her outwards and guess what. . .she LOVED it!! We were able to walk around for about 30 minutes or so and not one peep out of her. I think she liked being able to see everything, but while I think it's the being restrained that she doesn't like about the stroller, I think the baby bjorn makes her feel like she's just being held (which she loves). I feel like this is just the beginning of our new found freedom. No more weekends of being stuck in the house because Emily won't cooperate. YAY!!! I didn't take any pics at Lowe's, but I did take some of Shawn with her in the bjorn before we left.
I think this is such a sweet picture of Daddy and daughter
Since it was a quiet weekend, we thought this would be a good time to start back up on the rice cereal. We had stopped for a couple of weeks, because she just didn't seem to be interested. I was hoping for a different outcome this time. Shawn set up her highchair and we used that instead of the bumbo seat. Instead of feeding her after the bottle, this time we fed her the cereal before. I think she did a little better. It seemed like she was spitting out less then what was going in. I think we still have a long way to go, as she only ate about 5-6 bites, before she clearly had enough of this weird thing I was giving her. So we quickly moved on to the bottle. Any suggestions to make her like the cereal more??? I'm hoping this will continue to get better. Otherwise, I can only imagine what it's going to be like when we move on to baby food.
She looks so tiny in her big highchair!
Still not so sure about this cereal stuff.
