Rice is not our friend

Yesterday we went to a Vietnamese restaurant, Kaylee was perplexed by the crowd. She was silent and observant. When we got our food, Eric wanted to give her a piece of rice and I said "No, she will throw up. I don't want her to throw up here." But he tried it anyway, then she threw up twice during dinner. It was not cool but we dealt with it well, she didn't get upset and Aunt B didn't seem to mind either. All in all we still had a good time. Her gag reflex seems to be still well in-tact. A friend of Eric's said that we should try the cheerios that dissolve in the baby's mouth so we are going to experiment with that. I'm a little leary however, because I'm still not convinced that Kaylee has ever really gotten the hang of swallowing pureed food and I think that'll probably come first. There's a reason for my being worried about that, and that is I am having some pain related to breastfeeding and we need to find her another option. Whatever our approach is though we are working at being patient with Kaylee and making it seem like fun. On a positive note, she tasted sweet potatoes the other day and didn't reject them.

Oh, and I have had to be more careful with holding her. She will throw herself towards the edge of the couch or out of my arms towards her Dad if she's excited. But it's good she's so curious and thinks things are so fun and interesting. The other day she was at eye level with the dogs when we first got home, in her jumperoo. She is normally in my arms. She thought it was hilarious to see the dogs barking, wrestling and playing right in front of her. She let out loud peel of laughter and squeals of delight! It made me laugh at ton too.

Oh and speaking of laughing, when we were taking a bath I took the water in my mouth and squirted it in an arc. She thought that was so funny, she couldn't stop laughing. My cheeks got tired of blowing out the water because I didn't want to stop entertaining her this way!

We've been having a good weekend, I am at work. and best get back to it! Take care!
