Today marked the first day of bottle-training for the little man.
It ended with trying solid food, instead. It’s only a couple of weeks earlier than our doctor recommended starting him on solids, but with upcoming schedules, we needed to find something he’d eat than didn’t require my presence!
First bite…not sure if he likes it or not.
With no baby spoons on hand, we started with a regular plastic spoon…
Guess that rice cereal isn’t too bad after all!
…and Rich got a 1/2 teaspoon measuring spoon to use. Hey, at least it was small!
(Desperate times, stubborn mother determined it was either solids or a bottle for Little Man, desperate measures.)
He ate nearly 3/4 of the bowl of cereal!
(Well, okay…3/4 of the bowl of cereal was gone. Maybe 1/2 of that actually made it into his mouth. Still, we figured it was pretty good for the first time!)
Cleaned up and smiling! HURRAY!
