Solid food, Springfield and Super Excited

This past weekend (Memorial weekend) we drove down and spent Friday through Monday at my dad's in Springfield, MO. Hannah had her first trip to Bass Pro on Saturday and we got her a cute little hat. On Sunday we spent the afternoon at the Battlefield Mall and Hannah made her first trip to Build-A-Bear. After showing her several bears/animals she choose a black bear so we stuffed him and named him "Boo Boo" (which was my Dad's nickname as a kid). she was super excited the entire time in Build-A-Bear, however after about and hour or so of shopping, she fell asleep and slept for about 45 mins in her stroller. We drove home Monday afternoon/evening and took a different route, and accidentally stumbled upon the most twisted/curvy road in Kansas, so we won't be going that way ever again.
Hannah has been eating solid food for a couple of weeks, she really likes rice cereal and she occasionally gets so excited while eating that it ends up going everywhere. We tried introducing oatmeal last night, but I have a feeling it's going to take a few feedings before she likes it as much as she likes the rice cereal. We have Hannah's 4 month Dr visit and shots on Friday so, fingers crossed that it goes well because the last time she screamed and screamed and it took Elliott, myself and a nurse to hold her down so she could get them. However I hoping Dr. D gives us the thumbs up for vegetables and fruits, because Hannah is eating 6 1/2 to 7 ounces of formula at a meal or about a tablespoon of cereal and 4 ounces of formula per feeding and I'm sure she's double her birth weight even though Ell and i haven't weighed her in several weeks.
I haven't be very disciplined with the Your Baby Can Read program seeing as we did none of it this weekend or yesterday, but Hannah watched 90% of the disc today without being distracted or fussing, and during the first 5 minutes of it she was giggling and cooing, so I think she at least enjoys part of it. I'm gonna try and have her watch it tomorrow and possibly Friday before we leave for Sterling (to go to the Dr and Rachel Splitter's Wedding). Then I'll try to have her watch it 1 to 2 times a day over the weekend, or I can have Elliott do it with her. I'm just glad she's showing some interest in it.
Well, Miss Hannah is starting to fuss and it's time for a nap. I'll try to keep posting, but until then, Adios!
