Adalynn's first rice cereal

So at 4 months we got the go ahead from the Pediatrician to try some rice cereal.  However, since with Lauren it was stressed to wait until 6 months, we weren't comfortable.  But after trying formula, which has been an epic fail, we gave and attempted rice cereal at 5 months.  Compromise, right.  She had also licked a drop of ice cream that wound up on her hand, which she smacked her lips continuously.  And has been giving us both the stink eye when we eat in front of her.  So we thought "it's time".  It had mixed reviews. 
First Bite.... 
 Ok, maybe I'll try more.
 Notice the hand on the bowl.....not interested in the spoon per say but definitely the bowl.
 Wait, it's all gone?  Let's throw it on the floor for Biscuit!
 I'm still not sure how much she ate.  There was quite a bit on the table, hands, mouth, hair and elsewhere!
 But she seemed to be very happy post feeding!

 This is her "Whasssssuppppp!"
So it seemed to sit well on her little tummy. Just waiting to see how her little digestive track handles it.  She's been a little stuffed up too.  We are hoping to get some rice cereal going to help her sleep longer at night, which was Dr. Jiang's intentions on the early introduction.  Or I should say "Mommy is hoping!"  Cross your fingers!
