Cereal is a No Go

The doctor's orders were to start oatmeal cereal today. To make a long story short, just like with the rice Alexa vomited a few hours after eating the oatmeal :( I immediately put a call into Dr. Jacob's office (as she had told me to do if this occurred). She's not sure what's going on, but suspects that maybe Alexa (and her tummy) don't like the texture of the cereal. So the plan is to try sweet potatoes on Saturday, just three spoonfuls. If it goes well, great, and we'll continue with oranges veggies! If it doesn't go well, Dr. Jacob wants me to call on Monday and make an appointment for an upper gastrointestinal evaluation (i.e. digestive system). With Alexa already having issues with her weight, the last complication we need are GI issues. So please please please keep Alexa in your thoughts & prayers the next few days!!! Pray that her tummy like veggies! Despite this, Alexa has been in a really great mood all day. I started to teach her how to use a sippy cup with a little bit of water, and she even enjoyed some tummy time with the stuffed rabbit from Gram (pictures below).











Will keep y'all posted on Alexa's progress with solids. As always, thanks for your support! Ciao.
