Feeding Milestone

Well, Olivia had her first taste--make that serving--of rice cereal. I had read and was often told that babies generally don't actually swallow most of those first few feedings, so I wasn't too hopeful. But Livvie downed the stuff in its entirety! I made a little serving of 1 T. + 1 t. cereal, plus 3.5 T. Mama's milk. After the first few comical attempts at sucking on the spoon, she caught on. Well, I'll let the pictures tell the story.

"Hmmm. Not too sure what I'm supposed to do here..."

(approximately 5 bites later) "Wowzers! I kinda like this stuff! You're not doing it fast enough--lemme at that spoon!"

"Daddy can feed me now! I'm in heaven!"

Wow. she really is growing up fast! Malachi hated cereal. He wouldn't touch the stuff for me. But of course he'd eat it for every one else. We fed him his first solid foods when he was 4 months. and he did great! hope your're haveing fun with mom and dad! love ya!

Sounds like she was ready for the cereal by the way she reacted! Let us know if the cereal helps her sleep at night!
