fickleness of feeding

i am encouraged that percy ate a good amount of baby rice cereal over the weekend. mostly with paul feeding her whilst singing queen or jet songs. hmmmm....
she doesn't seem to be as interested or happy when i feed her. we figure she is thinking of paul "where's the one with the boobs? not here? oh well, i'll eat some of this goop then." whereas when i'm feeding her it's more "i know you've got the boobs, they're right under there, can we skip this goop and get to the good stuff, please?" i will persist.
she is also happy to take a bottle too. so that persistance paid off. the conclusion here is that she doesn't like formula. i've been expressing and giving her cereal mixed with breastmilk and bottles of breastmilk. which is great but also difficult because i hate expressing i'm so bad at it. never mind, i'll just work on that too.

wish us luck
