Starting Cereal!




So we got the green light to start solids! We talked it over with the pediatrician since most people start solids between 4-6 months. He said he felt Mason was really ready for solid foods, he GRINDS on his paci, everything goes in the mouth, and he's doing really good with sitting up supported. Dr. Ohman also said it might help him sleep longer & better at night with keeping him fuller. He drinks about 30 oz a day right now, even though he's full, he acts like its just not satasfying enough. SO we started him on some cereal and he LOVED it! At first he was just more interesting in chewing on the spoon, then we made the cereal just a little bit thicker and it perked his interest! He's got the chewing thing down pretty darn good! So we'll see how he sleeps! (crossing fingers!)

Eric is so scared of this stage of feeding. He can't get the "clean the face off with the spoon" part. I can't wait to see him freak out!
