What's new...

Tate has been eating rice cereal at night the last 3 nights. He isn't sure about it, but he has been a little oinker and I feel like he's been needing more than just his bottles. His doctor said that would probably happen soon and that rice cereal would help. The problem is, he eats about 5 bites and then he's over it. Oh well, hopefully he'll catch on with more practice. We have pictures of him eating it that I'll post here soon. Also, he got his highchair a few days ago and has really enjoyed sitting in it. He likes having his toys in front of him on the tray to play with. It seems like he's doing new things and making new noised every day! He loves turning the pages of his books when we read to him and he mimmicks sounds that we make. He's not our little itty bitty baby anymore! Pictures to come...

Hi Jennie! Have you tried using a bottle to feed him the rice? My sister did this with her 3 kids and it worked great! You just make the rice soupy enough so it goes through the nipple easier. (She used nipples with a little bit bigger hole for that). Just a thought for ya!
Have a great day!

We haven't tried cereal yet. It's funny because when I read your blog, we are just a little behind you. It seems like Jack does what Tate does a week or so later, so cereal is coming soon I'm sure!

Maren, I thought about the cereal in the bottle, but my doctor said not to do that. I can't remember why though.

Sara, it's so funny to see them eat it for the first time. He really doesn't get much, but it's good practice. :) Can't wait to hear how Jack does!
