Today I had little Taylor here again, and he and Riley are pretty funny together. This little rattle toy was a hot item today. Look at Taylor giving Riley the stare down:
Anyway, Riley is 7 MONTHS tomorrow, so check back for her 7 month-day post!
First of all, I didn't get around to finishing my photos for Scavenger Hunt Sunday this week, which I am pretty bummed about, which means I am definitely doing it next week... But I did take a picture for this week's "Shoot and edit" challenge, which really involves minimal work because it's just a shot straight out of the camera! In fact, every shot in this post is straight out of the camera, come to think of it. Anyway, this week's theme was something that says, "Goodnight" to you. This is part of our bedtime routine every single night. Bath time with daddy, sucking on the finger puppet. In non-related news, we had Riley's 7 month check today. She's getting bigger and taller, and hitting all her milestones on time, so all is good in that aspect. But the nurse we saw was not so pleased about her solid-eating habits. Which confuses me a little bit, I guess different people have different opinions/idea about solid food. See, I thought at this point, breast milk was still the most important source of nutrition for Riley, and food was really just for practice, so they can learn how to chew and swallow and they get exposed to new tastes and textures. Well, she told me that (1) Riley NEEDS to be eating 3 meals of solid food a day (2) She should only be getting 4 milk feeds a day (3) I should NEVER nurse her in the night (4) if she won't eat solids, and she's hungry, I am NOT to nurse her, because eventually if she's hungry, she'll eat the solid foods. Oh yeah AND, she told me that if Riley is locking her lips and not wanting to eat, then she is being "naughty." Hmmm. I know she's supposed to be the expert here, but I'm not buying it. Any of it. I know Riley is a little behind the curve in her solid eating abilities, but I'm not really concerned, some babies just are not that interested in solids for a little while longer. Riley's gaining weight well, my only concern is that she's not getting enough iron, but I'm working on ways to get iron in her diet. So remember what I said yesterday about advice? I think even the most "knowledgeable" people give bad advice. Today I had little Taylor here again, and he and Riley are pretty funny together. This little rattle toy was a hot item today. Look at Taylor giving Riley the stare down: He was just waiting for the right opportunity... Yup. These two are precious. Anyway, Riley is 7 MONTHS tomorrow, so check back for her 7 month-day post!

Love your SOOC shot and love those other photos too. So cute. Take it for what it's worth but I do remember reading in my child development classes that babies/kids will try to protest when they don't like something. If you give in, it sets a president for future circumstances so I tend to agree with the doc that if she doesn't want to eat solid foods, don't give in...she will get hungry. Alright, that's all I've got from the non-parent. :)
