Emily has had a very big week!!
This Friday, my sister and her 3 girls came to my house to watch Emily while I went to work. Emily had so much fun that she hardly slept the entire day - after all, she had to keep up with those big kids! That evening, we went to a wedding rehearsal and dinner, so she had lots and lots of stimulation that day. Saturday morning she was really sleepy, only awake for an hour or so, up until we had to leave for the wedding. Travis was an usher and I played my violin for the ceremony, so we asked my parents (who were also at the wedding) to watch Emily. She was a very good girl through the service, and everyone around thought she was really bright-eyed and cute. I am just amazed and proud that she was so pleasant through all the lack of sleep and change in schedule and venue. And she LOVES her cousins. It's so fun to see her that excited! But after all the activity we are all very tired. The wedding was a great celebration of two close friends who are totally perfect for each other, so we'd been looking forward to this weekend for a long time. The groom choked up during the vows which was a first that I had seen but totally expected by those of us who know him well! They're so in love that it'd make me sick if I didn't adore them both so much! :) It was a really fun but exhausting past couple of days.
We also decided that since Thursday was Emily's official half-birthday, we should start feeding her solid foods. I had bought a box of rice cereal, as recommended, and so I mixed that with breastmilk the way I was supposed to. It's pretty funny that they call it solid foods, cuz I think it ends up being ricey-flavored milk - very runny. I've posted a few pictures, which are cute, but she wasn't that excited about it. She liked chewing on the spoon, and most of it dribbled out her mouth but I think she swallowed a fair amount of it. Tomorrow we'll see if she thinks it's any more interesting, or at least a familiar experience.
