the "no cry sleep solution"

so tonight elenora was laid down in her crib while still awake and for the fourth time this week did not cry as she fell asleep.

also, i tried the rice cereal again tonight and she liked it! yay! she kept bringing the spoon up to her mouth and i think more went down her throat than out on her chin.

(i have observed my mom feeding yogurt to my niece in such a way that lorien's face remained completely clean... i have yet to learn that technique.)

here's the classic picture of a baby with food all over her face:




she looks like me in this picture. nobody can tell me she doesn't.
