It's eatin' time!!

Rya is a few days away from 5 months old. She's growing like a weed! It's a great thing it's summer because she is growing out of clothes left and right and therefore spends lots of time in just diapers. Last week Rya decided sleeping "through" (8 hr stretch) was for chumps. And she also decided that instead of nursing every 3 hours she wanted to nurse every 2. 2.5 if I was lucky. I figured it was another growth spurt, but it hasn't ended yet! So I decided maybe it was time to try solids and see if that helped. Yesterday she tried avocado and was all smiles while doing so. It's going to take at least a few days if not longer to make a difference in her sleeping and probably in her eating as well. But! I caught the bug. The make-your-own baby food bug :). Rya's belly and taste buds seemed pretty happy yesterday. So last night I made some bananas and this afternoon I made up some spinach and carrots. (I know this post would be SO much more interesting with pictures. Sorry! Hindsight is 20-20.) Hopefully the solids are the cure but only time will tell!
