First Food!

Trevor is such a big boy and finally got to try some cereal. Our pediatrician said to hold off until he was waking at night to eat (meaning he was going through his 6 month growth spurt) which happened last week. Look at him, he obviously wasn't starving on breastmilk alone :) So we made the trek to Target and purchased his special spoons, bowls, and rice cereal. On Sunday evening he tried it. It's like he knew it was coming. He was so excited sitting in his high chair and kept reaching out while Mommy was making it.

Give me the food!! Come on! I'm ready!

He opened his mouth wide in anticipation of that first bite. Thanks Stacey for his personalized bib that we just had to have him in for his first food. Too cute!!

He chomped down and wasn't sure what to think other than he had to hold onto the spoon to make sure no one was going to take his food away.

Later on he wasn't opening wide anymore so Mommy and Daddy had to sing and dance to get him to smile to get the food in but he finished his bowl!

I'll do it myself Mommy and Daddy!

So, we'll continue with one feeding of rice cereal a day and gradually thicken it for a week or two before starting the good stuff. We're still deciding whether we'll make or buy his baby food. Sara is leaning towards making it just so that she learns how to cut fruits and veggies and maybe she'll start eating them (long shot, but worth a try).
