Brenya is doing well on solids. She has been eating them for a week and has only had rice cereal so far but she loves it. She is up to eating about 2 tablespoons and then nurses right after. She is a big eater! That would be hard to guess by looking at her size. She is only 11 lbs 9 oz so still pretty small for her age but she is growing which is all that matters. She was going to start getting veggies in her diet yesterday but she had two messy diapers with blood in them. We took her to the doctor and found that she may have had an allergic reaction from too much dairy in Mom's diet. Brenya had a follow up appointment this morning and there are no more traces of blood in her poop. Mom just has to limit the dairy she eats which should be easy now that Thanksgiving is over. The doctor says it's common for babies to have such a problem and it will resolve when she turns a year old. So, even though the introduction of veggies was delayed, she will be able to start them at the end of this week. Other than that Brenya is doing very well and moving right along. It's so much fun to see her experience new things every day. We are so excited for Christmas!
