Julia's First Soccer Game!

Julia enjoyed her first soccer game. She made contact with the ball just once, but she announced during a water break, "I'm getting lots of good exercise!!"

Julia: First visit to the dentist

Julia did really well at the dentist. She wasn't scared, and she did just as they asked her to do. I think she actually enjoyed her first trip to the dentist. They put her in (princess!) sunglasses to shade their eyes from the bright light.

(By the way, she picked her own outfit here.)







After the dentist, we enjoyed a visit to Costco together.

First Solid Food

Little Miss tried her first rice cereal today. She didn't dislike it; she was mostly just a bit confused by it. I don't know how much actually ended up going down the pipes, because she had most of it on her chin.

I was going to wait until she was 6 months old, but she's got some of the signs that it is time to start solids - she's seemed interested in our food and she seems very hungry lately.

We'll start out slowly, as recommended by the doctor. One tablespoon of rice cereal today and two tablespoons tomorrow. On Friday, we'll try for three tablespoons. If all goes well, then we can introduce some other grains.
