I'm not sure if you can count rice cereal as real food for the rest of us, but I think it counts when you've only had one other food choice your whole life! Yesterday I took both girls to the allergist and then to the pediatrician for routine follow-up visits. We learned that Ellie is still very allergic to egg, but her skin is looking great with little evidence of eczema. She is also developing well and on target with her abilities. She is now 38 inches tall and weighs 33 pounds (75th percentile for both). Both doctors gave us the go-ahead to start giving Audrey solid food. She's been grabbing our plates and trying to take food from Ellie for a few weeks so she's definitely ready! We wanted to make sure that starting now wouldn't raise her risk for allergies any more than it is already is, but our allergist didn't seem concerned about that. We got the approval to give her soy formula if needed in the future, too. She is now 26 inches long and weighs 18 pounds 6 ounces (95th percentile for both).
Ready for some food!
Audrey's first taste of rice cereal...
Mmmmmmm!
"More please!" After the first few bites, Audrey started opening her mouth for more whenever I put the spoon near her!
Ellie was very excited about Audrey eating food! She took these two pictures...
Next week, applesauce! hold on tight, little Audrey, your world is about the expand!
