Hungry Ruby

So, Ruby's been really hungry lately. I feel like I've been nursing her every hour. She still sleeps most of the night, but has been waking up at 4 am to nurse the past few nights. And whenever she sees me, she opens her mouth wide and tries to nurse my face, my arm, whatever is in reach.

Also, she has been VERY interested in food. Whenever she sees food or us eating, she makes a nursy face like she's trying to eat the food.

So even though I hate the baby food stage and generally try to put it off as long as possible, I don't want my child to starve. She's clearly telling me she's hungry.

Here's the first baby food experience:

"Aren't I cool in the high chair?"
"This is not what I signed up for."
"I'm thoroughly disappointed."

"Oh no! Not again!"

"Please make it stop!"

And then I nursed her. She realized how much better breast milk is than rice cereal. That's right, Ruby. Let's stay this way for another month.
