What's Eating Mr. Grape?

Well, I went to a few stores today and had to run in Target real quick. I thought I would just carry in Sammie and leave the car seat in the car (Daddy's done it before and she likes it). When I pulled her out, I realized she pooped on herself. So, I went to the potty to change her and once again there was blood! I don't know why this only happens when I'm off and when I go run errands. Maybe it's this shopping strip! Ugh! Hopefully it is because of the peanuts still in my system. UGH! Maybe it's the Sprouts' bread. I bought a new loaf of bread and will stop eating the Sprouts one. She bled the last time I had a sandwich. We'll see.

I started looking at cereals for Sammie today. I am so excited to give her her first "solid" food.  How overwhelming! There is rice cereal, brown rice cereal, organic rice cereal, rice cereal with mixed fruit, barley cereal, oat cereal.... Well, the GI doctor said that if I can't start her on cereal first because of her allergy (that we still don't know), we can try a fruit or vegetable instead. I decided to wait until we see the doctor at the end of the month before giving her anything! But I thought it would be fun to see how Sammie would accept food. As I was eating grapes, I brought one to her mouth and she opened it to take it; then I bit off half of the grape and brought the opened side to her mouth and she kept tonguing at it. I think she may have liked it. She kept pulling my hand toward her mouth to taste the grape. (Don't worry, I know not to give her grapes!) I don't think we are going to have a problem with getting her to eat solid food!

Other things about Sammie~
I am figuring out her happy babbles from her fussy babbles. It's like she is trying to tell you something is wrong or she wants something.

I notice when she drinks from her sippy cup, she still tries to talk. She makes a total mess!

She is sucking on her thumb again and drooling a lot. I finally put some Ora-Gel on her gums tonight. Her face was so funny. She made a "yucky" face at first and then I put her paci in and it kept falling out... ha ha ha
