Today was big. Huge. We've been trying rice cereal for at least the last two weeks now, and Joey was just not eating off the spoon. I'll admit, I did put a little in a couple bottles, if for no other reason than to see if he would have a reaction. Everything seemed OK. So I decided today I'd try oatmeal cereal. See if Joey didn't want to eat off the spoon, or if he just didn't like rice cereal. (I know, I know. You have to give them 10-15 opportunities before they decide they really don't like the food. But I needed some progress. On something.) Well, he did it! (as you can tell from the picture). Really, it was great. He opened his mouth for the spoon and everything. Joey never did that for the rice cereal. We're moving forward. A few more days of oatmeal, then barley. By April we may even be eating vegetables. Exciting stuff!

Just Eat It

WooHoo!! Go Joey!! Solids are so much fun!!
i dont know how he could sleep more and i think rice is the best tasting one anyhow wait till he starts playing while eating i love it mom
two things that i actually remember about baby cereals: oatmeal cereal makes for bigger poops, and shae hated rice cereal.
when do you get to add fruits and stuff? shae really liked fruit mixed in with her oatmeal. bananas especially (because she is a wee little monkey, of course) but also pears, peaches, and plums.
also: can you give him the yo baby yogurt yet? some of them have fruit and cereal mix on the bottom. shae REALLY liked them. (i'm sure the plain is fine too.)
yay food! next: TEEFS.
Are you sure he isn't falling alseep eating? He looks like it...but so happy that he is eating real food!!
no, he's not sleeping - he's looking at the spoon!
