| 5 months + 1 day old... first bit of rice cereal |
 |
| He wasn't too interested, so most of it went into the bottle. |
 |
| Day 2 of Rice Cereal: Ate much more and better 'technique'. Mom tries to prevent the mess by using a bib that is bigger than baby. |
 |
| somewhat successful in preventing a mess. Just a messy face. |
 |
| A couple weeks in to eating Rice Cereal: He gets very excited and throws his hands around, resulting in cereal everywhere. |
 |
| Bibs do no good. We strip down to diaper then go straight for a bath. |
 |
| I like the way this feels on my feet. And in my hands. |
 | |
| What IS this stuff? One day it's yummy to eat, and the next day it's fun to play with and throw around. |
Observations of 2 weeks with Rice Cereal:
- it's messy.
- baby + rice cereal = more baths
- I am eating all my promises to myself that my baby will not be gross while eating (pun intended).
- one time after feeding him, I may or may not have held him out for the dogs to lick clean.
Zoe may or may not have liked it more than Nala. - It's best when there are 2 people. One can hold the hands down and the other can feed the baby.
- When there is leftover cereal, it gets added to the bottle for the next feeding.
- He has become more 'regular' (read: once a day) with his dirty diapers since adding in rice cereal.
- we need more bibs.
Next on the menu: vegetables!
Love it!
ReplyDeletethis is soooo cute! have you tried anything else besides rice cereal? We are going to start Gillian on rice cereal in a few weeks once she is 6 months. I am not quite sure what to expect and I am a little bit dreading it. Breastfeeding is so convenient (and so sweet) that I don't really WANT to introduce solids, but i know that it is best for Gillie-bean in the long run. I am glad to see Tyndall in the bumbo - i thought that i would have to buy a high chair by then, but the bumbo is a great idea!
