So Isaac is almost 5 months old (one week to go) and while Sal & I have discussed waiting until he was 6 months old to introduce food, his nights have been getting shorter and shorter (meaning he is no longer my "sleep until 9" baby, now he is "I'm awake and feed me at 6:30" baby) so I thought maybe he wasn't getting enough to eat. I am still producing plenty of milk, but maybe he's just not satisfied. So my wonderful friend, Shannon, showed me the ropes Saturday, what Organic Baby Cereal I should get, the kinds of spoons, even the containers to store it in....so I thought I was set. My mom brought the Space Saver High Chair, I got out the plastic bibs, and was ready for the newest adventure and coming to terms with the realization that my baby boy is growing oh soo fast. Honestly I was kindof saddened when I put him in the high chair, second guessing myself as to whether I should be introducing cereal so soon. So I gave it a try and took pictures (and a video) in the process...
"Hmm, what's this contraption?"
"OK I'll give it a try"
"EEEWWW, not again!"
"This Bib is much more interesting than yucky cereal"Needless to say it didn't go over so well, Isaac did great in his high chair, but really wasn't impressed with his first go at cereal. I'm alright with it too, I think I needed to be encouraged to enjoy the time we spend together "eating" because not long from now he won't fully rely on me, which will be a whole new adventure for him, and possible test for me. So for now, we'll have the cereal on hand and spoons cleaned and ready for use for the day that Isaac really is ready to eat something other than what I can give him. Enjoy the video too! He's absolutely adorable, and I can only imagine what he will look like one day with green beans smeared all over his face!
