Home Cooked Meals, Please.

Well, after last week's attempt of feeding me a bottle, Mommy tried lots of different ways to get me to eat from one, but I wasn't having it at all. She tried it upstairs, downstairs, in my exersaucer, just with Daddy, in my bedroom, standing up, but none of those ways worked. Then she remembered that the last time I ate a bottle we were in the car, so she tried that. We were on our way home from Polaris Mall and she thought that it would be a good idea to try it then since we are in the car for about 20 minutes. Well, at least I didn't scream like I normally do at the thought of a bottle. I drank about half the bottle which mom thought was better than nothing. Then a couple days ago, we went out to dinner with Grandma and she gave me a bottle and I drank 3 out of the 5 oz that Mommy had put into the bottle. So I'm getting better at taking the bottle, but I still just want to nurse. I know how to eat from a bottle but I just don't want to. Well we'll keep trying.

After getting to eat a pea last week with no reaction, Mommy gave me a little piece of banana. I think I actually liked the pea a little bit better, but I wasn't against eating the banana at all. I don't think I'm quite up to eating solid foods on a regular basis but it's nice to try new things.

I think I want to stick with trying to eat out of a bottle before we move on to solids. Mommy is not looking forward to this transition at all. She's hoping that maybe I'll like formula out of a bottle better because it's not breast milk. We'll see what I decide to do with that but we don't really have to worry about that for another couple months.

On a side note, our pool is opened! Granted it's only 70 degrees right now, but hopefully it will be warm enough in time for my baptism party in three weeks!
