Sleeping and Eating

Emma has been napping for about an hour now, I expect her to wake up any time now. She actually slept for 11 hours last night. I fed her at 9:30 last night, and she slept until 8:30am. Although I will have to say that she did wake up around 4:30 last night and I just turned off the monitor and went back to sleep. I know, terrible mom. Well, if she really wanted to eat that bad she would not have gone back to sleep she would have just gotten louder in her protesting. After her 8 am feeding I put her in her crib with her mobile on so that I could go back to sleep. I know, I know. It's just so hard to get up on Monday after working all week. Anyways, she must have entertained herself for a while then went back to sleep. She was awake and ready to eat at 11am. After breastfeeding we gave her some cereal. I doubled the feeding this time, a whopping 2 tsp today. She did great, she was opening her mouth and watching the spoon. She seemed almost disappointed that it was all gone. It was so cute, I videotaped it. I think I will continue with this increase this week and then next week go to twice a day. Once she is eating a decent amount of cereal then we will upgrade to other foods! I can't wait until we can do bananas! This feeding thing is so much fun.
