First cereal!

Jeremiah had his first taste of rice cereal tonight. I wanted to hold off on solids for awhile, but he's been waking up every 3 hours at night and eating...he's so active the doctor said he's probably not getting enough during the day. (He eats a lot during the day, too!)

First bite...


Mmm, my fingers taste good! (We kept having to take his hands out of his mouth. It was a two person job!)



What is this thing in my mouth.


These pictures do not do the mess justice. I think out of the tablespoon (plus 3 oz milk) we fed him, maybe 1/2 of it made it into his mouth. Maybe 1/2 of that, he actually ate. By the end, though, he was kind of attacking the spoon and slurping up the cereal. We're going to give it another try tomorrow!
