First Teeth & First Food

June got her first two teeth the day she turned 5 months old ... Unlike every other baby I've ever known, Junie's first teeth were NOT her upper or bottom center teeth. Instead, June's first little tooth buds were her upper canines! We have a vampire baby! :) Fortunately, I don't think she'll be sporting the fangs-only look for long since I can feel lots more teeth beneath her gums that are on the verge of popping through.

Now that June has a couple of teeth, is 5.5 months old and weighs more than 15 pounds (I think), I thought it would be a good time to try rice cereal. Ellen started on rice cereal around 4.5 months and liked it right away, so I figured June was bound to enjoy it ... I thought wrong. We've tried on two different occasions and, both times, June pushed the cereal out of her mouth and started to cry. We'll give it another shot in a week or so. :)

 Bib on and ready to try cereal!

Big sister Ellen was on hand to offer moral support.

Looks delicious, right?

Well, not so much.
