Knocked Up & Unemployed: "She's going to be a disgrace to the Koreans!"

That was an exact quote said by my good friend, Linz. That was in reference to V's first experience with eating rice cereal last week. In case you couldn't tell from Linz's quote, V's first time eating RICE cereal didn't go so well. Just like any baby's first experience eating something other than milk out of a bottle, she did the norm of spitting out every morsel of rice that you put in. She didn't cry and didn't fuss...but it wasn't like she was thrilled with the experience or begging for more rice. I think she liked the crazy noises I was making to get her to open her mouth. There were times when her mouth was shut tight like a vault. The bad part came the next day when her face broke out in a bright red rash along with her chest. She was as red as Alex McCord during a heated argument with the Countess (if you don't watch Real Housewives of New York, you won't get that reference. If you DO watch RHONY, then you understand just how red she got!). I was worried that she was having an allergic reaction to eating the rice. However, she wasn't fussy because of a belly ache. But the words "Allergic To Rice" sparked such a controversy with my friends and family. "She's half Korean! How could she be allergic to rice?!" So, needless to say, we've tried the rice again. She's doing better with opening her mouth (meaning, I'm doing a good job keeping the crazy ass noises fresh and interesting) and actually swallowing some of the rice. Her face is still a little red, but I think it's a combination of drool overload and a reaction to the rice. I can't let V disgrace the Korean population. She HAS to like rice. Wish us luck...
