Today we FINALLY got around to giving Jonas his first taste of rice cereal. I've had poor excuses as to why it took so long...namely because the video camera was full. Addison had experienced rice cereal at 4 months old and Jonas finally got to taste it at 5 1/2 months old. I must say it was MUCH easier the 2nd time around. He was so much more skilled at opening his mouth and keeping it in. Addison seemed to spit it right back out for a week straight. I guess there is a silver lining to being a slacker mom eh?
Here are a few pictures of the momentous occasion. I was guessing we'd only manage to master three bites before we called it a day but this little chunky monkey ate almost the whole bowl of cereal! He did so good with opening his mouth and swallowing it and spit out very little. However, the poor guy did gag a little as he learned to adjust to the texture. It was quite different than the bottle he's been used to sucking down! Next on our list is baby food! I bet he can't wait to have a little more flavor to his dining. Food only gets better from here on out little man!
All prepped and ready to go!
His first taste...
His first reaction...not a fan.
All smiles. It was a success!
Look Mom! I ate the whole thing....almost!
