Isn't she adorable?

Exploring the world of solid foods

Sophie is eating solids now. Well, she's been eating rice cereal for the last 7 nights before bed. Whoever said that solids will help a baby sleep through the night must have been crazy. It hasn't helped us one bit. Sophia goes to bed anytime between 6:30 and 8 depending on how tired she is and how long its been since her last nap. Sometimes she has a midnight snack when mommy is going to bed. Other nights she can wait until 1 or 2AM for something to eat. Then she'll get up for another snack between 3 and 5AM. She's awake each day like clockwork at 7:30 and can usually entertain herself until 7:45 and then she gets fussy. Yes, mom is tired!

Tonight we added sweet potatoes to the menu and after a few "yucky" faces she didn't seem to mind them too much. Maybe baby food solid food will help her to sleep through the night. We'll see. Sophia's doctor recommended introducing solids in this order: veggies, fruits then meats.
