I am starting to eat with a spoon and no more swaddle!

Riley has had a lot going on lately. Her grandmother finally left so we have been spending the week in detox as my friend calls it... trying to get back to our schedule and to not being held 24/7. Its been rough on her but even rougher on me. She will only take 30-45 min naps and is waking up at 4-5 AM and crying wanting her pacifier. As you can see from the photo below, she has mastered taking the pacifier out of her mouth, she just cannot get it back in! We have decided today we are going to stop swaddling her completely and just fight through all this at once. Tonight will be our first night with no swaddle. I am hoping we get some sleep!


Riley has learned to take out her pacifier... If only she could put it back in!




Last night Justin and I started Riley on baby oatmeal. It was quite the experience! Riley had no idea what to make of the oatmeal or the spoon for that matter. She did ok, she never tried to grab the spoon so the oatmeal never made it to the walls or the floor of my kitchen. With that being said, she did not know what to do with her tongue so a lot of oatmeal ended up on her face. Needless to say we immediately went to take a bath after her dinner. Here are a few pictures from our first feeding.

Oatmeal on the face


Licking my lips!

She is not sure at this point what to make of it.
