Seeing as I have done nothing with Lily's baby book since the day she came home from the hospital, I figured I need to at least update my blog with her life so I can go back and add it to the baby book whenever I decide to stop taking naps when they nap (which I am not planning on for a long time). Anyway- today was a big day for her- she had her first rice cereal! When we were at her four month appointment, the pediatrician updated me on the new feeding guidelines that have changed even since Tripp was a baby. Apparently, if you have no history of allergies, everything is fair game after 6 months (including peanut butter!) and we are supposed to start rice cereal with her now cause she needs the extra iron. So seeing as I finally got around to buying it, today was the first day of cereal for Lily. She did pretty well, I think she might have actually swallowed some! Tripp was cheering her all the whole time and she was just laughing at him, so she might have been a bit distracted. But that is the story of her life whenever he is around.
I also realized I never gave the update on her eyes! They are a little crossed, but it is definitely intermittent so she gets till 6 months for them to straighten out. The ophthalmologist said with our family history, they might just take longer to straighten. If at 6 months, they are still not straight, we will start intervening. Her vision is still good so that was a good thing. When Tripp's eye started turning in, his vision was already affected, so I was glad to hear that her's was still ok (although I would love to know how they can tell what her vision is!!). So now we are just praying that they straighten up on their own (although they haven't made much progress so far) and we don't have to do anything else for her!
