Kayla had another milestone on October 29th when she had her first "solid" food. We gave her some rice cereal. She absolutely loved it! She kept grabbing the spoon and kept wanting more.

The next day we gave her some more and she was not as crazy about it the second time. Since then some days she likes it some days she doesn't. She has had both rice and oatmeal cereal but doesn't seem to have a preference.

As you would expect she gets most of it on her chin but she does manage to eat a fair amount of it. I am anxious to see how she likes fruit and vegetables. It will be a big change to eat something with some actual flavor. I tried the rice cereal and it is pretty bland stuff, though she will gobble it up. However I have also tried the formula and I think it is disgusting though she goes crazy for it.


For Halloween I took her around to a few houses for Trick or Treating. She held on to her bag real tight and she got lots of candy. It is a shame she is not allowed to eat it.

As you can see Trick or Treating is tiring work and she fell asleep after just 5 houses. That was a pity as I am sure she could have gotten quite a bit more candy.

She has recently discovered her feet. She grabs and plays with them constantly. In this picture she is helping mommy by holding her legs out of the way while her diaper is being changed.

Tonight she successfully sucked on her big toe. This has been a goal of hers that she has been relentlously attempting since finding her feet.

I tried it myself and luckily was not nearly limber enough to even come close. I would have felt guilty if I could have done it as it would have stolen some of her thunder.
