It's a bit of a hassle to try new foods, because you have to try them for a few days in a row to make sure there isn't an allergic reaction. And until you know, you can't add in other new foods. A few days ago, Megan tried applesauce. Liked it. Tonight, she tried oat cereal. LOVED it. Since she didn't like carrots, it looks like we'll be eating applesauce and oat cereal for a couple of days before we can move on to something else. I'll be patient, though. Soon we'll have a whole bunch of things she can eat!
In other news, we visited the ear doctor today for a followup. Looks like tubes might be coming soon. We're going to talk after the next ear infection. Hopefully that won't happen for a while...
And in happier news, Megan has officially moved into 9-month clothes (which are for babies 6-9 months). Fun!

In other news, Megan sat up by herself this week. Fun! She also tried solid food for the first time--rice cereal. If she could have, she would have dived face-first into the bowl. She loved it.
It's a good thing, too, because my milk supply took a huge plunge and I made the decision to stop breatfeeding. I've gotten great emotional support from my pediatrician and many of my friends. It's amazing, though, how sad it is to give up breastfeeding. It's funny--I hated it so much at the beginning and loved it so much later on. I know I am doing the right thing, but I'm a little bummed out. I feel much better than I did yesterday, though--so I'm feeling much more positive about things. The bottom line is that I'm doing right by Megan--and that's all that matters! And I have lots of memories to keep my heart warm. And they sure do!!!!!!!
