CEREAL!!!!



















For a few weeks, Michael has been very interested in watching Mommy and Daddy eat! He opens his mouth at the right time and giggles with anticipation as we raise our food to our mouths. At his 4 month check-up, we got the okay to get started on some yummy rice cereal!


















We decided to do our once a day feeding between his 4:30ish bottle and his night-night bottle. When it is bottle time, Michael WANTS his baba and wouldn't want to mess with the spoon just yet. The first couple of nights, the lil dude wasn't too terribly interested. I think that we waited to closely to bottle time. But, the third night was a great success! Although he made nasty faces, he took the cereal and swallowed quite well. It has still been hit or miss, but Michael is doing all the right things as he gets used to moving the food to the back of his mouth and swallowing. He is growing up WAY too quickly!!!
