Mmmmm... Tasty!

So we decided to try giving Isaac some rice cereal for the first time tonight. His appetite seems to vary from day to day - like any normal human being, I guess you could conclude. But over all, his appetite is increasing, and he is growing like a weed! And seeing as how he'll be six months old next week (yeah, you heard that right!), we figure it's a good time to start trying solid foods.

Here was his take on the whole rice cereal idea...

Yeah, he was less than impressed. Isaac wrinkled up his nose in disgust and spit most of it back out... when he wasn't gagging on it, that is.

He was a bit worried as Dad dipped the spoon in for another bite.
Pleeeeaaaaase, are we done yet?? I don't particularly like this stuff...

Deflected! Isaac takes a stand and issues his final word on this new food substance. Yep, the spoon went flying, and he seemed rather satisfied with his nonverbal communication!


He'll suck on his sweaty feet all day long, but this sweet rice cereal is for the birds!! I don't get it... but what a crackup.

We love that boy of ours! :)

Ahh ... the first attempts at solids foods are always memorable. Eli screamed as we crammed it in :) Joshua used to love grabbing the spoon and eventually got in "trouble" for doing so ... he started eating with his arms widespread and let me feed him with no interference. We have a great book for making baby food. I made lots of J How's and all of Eli's. Super easy. Used Magic Bullet. Froze in ice cube trays. Much less expensive. Oh ... and we put a plastic floor mat under the high chair. It's a messy time :)

Yup, and so it goes. Just keep at it and he'll love it soon enough.
