Rice, Rice, Baby

Approximately (OK, exactly) 15 days ago, Anabelle stopped sleeping through the night. I know, I know, "Quit complaining!" Something had to be up, though, because it has been 4 1/2 months of peaceful bliss at night, and now she wants to eat once, twice or three times a night. Not. Cool.

Although our doctor wanted her to wait until 6 months to start on cereal, the girl did not agree. After getting his approval, I immediately went to the store to get rice cereal. After her nap, we tried it out. It was a huge success! It's clear the girl likes to eat [see cheeks below], and cereal was no different for her. She gobbled down three tablespoons right away. She loved it!! Evidence below:

NOTE: Video is a few minutes of her eating and eating and eating. Twenty seconds may be sufficient viewing time :)

And following lunch time was nap time, which leads me to my next update. BNTBC is a success! Today is day six, and each day has been better! We've had naps on the go, which have been perfectly fine, and her naps in the crib are wonderful! She isn't a long napper, never has been, but within 10 minutes or so of laying her down, she is going to sleep! Momma is thrilled!

Here is my sweet sleeper, conked out after a delicious belly filling of rice cereal. Let's hope we don't see eachother in the middle of the night tonight...
