Cereal

We fed Abigail cereal for the first time today! And so begins her journey towards eating solid food : ) I skipped rice cereal and went straight to oatmeal. Rice cereal is like eating water to me . . . no taste what so ever so I didn't even try it with Abigail. She really seemed to enjoy it. Emily didn't really do anything when I fed her cereal for the first time. But Abigail had fun.

What cracked me up was Emily. I told her today that we were going to feed Abigail baby oatmeal for the first time. So she told me she wanted me to fix her "big girl" oatmeal when Abigail ate her "baby" oatmeal. So I fixed Emily some of Joe's oatmeal and then made up Abigail's. When Emily saw me put a bib on Abigail I had to get one for Emily too and it had to match Abigail's bib . . . what a hoot. All Emily did was take one lick of the oatmeal and that was it. But we had fun.

I have also started mixing up their names. I've done it several times over the past week. I knew it was probably going to happen to me since my mom called us all the wrong names growing up and me and my sister answered to both names from everyone we ever met our whole life . . . I guess because we were so close in age. Anyway, Emily has been correcting me when I call her Abigail and visa versa.

Here are pictures of Abigail's first meal at the dinner table . . . enjoy! We sure did.

Here is a video of Abigail and Emily enjoying their oatmeal together:
