Ian had his first non-milk food today: very runny rice cereal. When I (his mommy) first started breastfeeding 4 months ago, I couldn't wait for the minute when Ian would turn 4 months and could eat solids. Nursing has definitely gotten easier, so I was able to delay until 4 1/2 months, since the pediatrician recommended waiting until 5 months in order to avoid food allergies. But Ian was SO ready for solids. He can sit up very well with assistance and is curious about big-people food. I was very surprised about his reaction to rice cereal. Take a look:
I thought it was hilarious that he would grimace with every mouthful but keep on reaching for more. Maybe he was just excited by the shiny spoon.
Jordan had fun feeding Ian, too. It was great to get daddy in on feeding our baby.
What a lucky Grandma I am to get to see Ian and his Daddy and Mommy's first adventures with rice cereal! These videos are priceless. Thank you soooo much for sharing them. I just saw Ian 3 weeks ago and already he has grown.... that rice cereal is quick acting stuff! I am very proud of you, all 3 of you did a very good, clean job with that rice cereal, though, you will have to teach little Ian that his tasty little bib is not part of the main course and at some point, Ian will be stronger than you and he will gain his own domain over that spoon.... I can hardly wait to see those videos!! I love you and miss you all very much. Thanks for making my day!
ReplyDeleteHa, ha! He is so funny when he grimaces. Is he sleeping better through the night?
