A week ago, Charlotte would take a bottle, but just barely. She would fuss and it would take her about an hour to get 3-4 oz. down. Then, she spent the week at the babysitter's where she had no choice but to take a bottle. So, today after church I filled a bottle up and sat down to feed her. As soon as I held the bottle to her lips, she started eating! She sat in my lap and ate, with no fussing, and finished the bottle in about 20 minutes! Wow! What a difference a week can make! I am so happy she will easily take a bottle now. It makes me much more relaxed to know that she is okay at the babysitter's. It also gives Mark and me a little more freedom because we can leave her with other people to go on dates and know that she will eat, be happy, and be okay. 
Then, last night we started rice cereal for the first time. Charlotte has always been a pretty easy-going gal and this experience proved that to be true once again. She sat in her chair and let us try to feed her with a lot of patience! Not much of it actually went down. We ended up wiping most of it all of her chin! However, she was quit tolerant and we know she will become better at it with practice. 
Eating makes Mommy and baby happy girls!

I can't believe she's old enough for rice cereal!
Looks like we both started cereal at the same time! Glad she is doing so well at the baby sitters!
