5 Month Celebration

So, Little L turned 5 months old. We celebrated by introducing her to something glorious-- FOOOD! 

She wasn't so sure it was glorious by any standards! 
 "Okay, this stuff is DISGUSTING!" 
I love how put-out she looks in this picture
But wish a reassuring kiss from Mommy.... 
 Things started to look up! 
 And what is this? A smile?
 Yay for solids! And hope for a better night's sleep. She wakes up at 2, 4, and 6 am on the dot, so I hoped the food with help with that. Unfortunately, the worst night we ever had with her followed her adventure with solid food. Somewhere between the feeding and night time she came down with a (MILD) stuffy nose but it must have bugged her because she was up alllllllllll night long.

The next day she was scheduled for a visit with the chiropractor to also see if she would sleep better. Her shoulders and neck were really tight and her left side extension was rather limited. He adjusted her as best he could and since then she has actually slept more peacefully.... stuffy nose and all. The food hasn't really seemed to make a difference. But she started to enjoy the cereal more and more........ until one day she HATED IT. She has't really had too much the past few days. We'll see how it goes.  She thoroughly enjoyed the mashed banana I fed her today so maybe cereal just isn't her thing.  I NEVER do well with baby foods.
