We had a super productive weekend, but that left little time to post those pictures I promised. So here they are...James' first experience with Rice Cereal (see slide show below). Needless to say it was messy. Especially when we let him try to feed himself (he made spoon to mouth maybe 3x before we took over).
The baby books warned that he would likely snarl his face at the first feedings, but he LOVED it and couldn't get the food fast enough (who does this remind you of?). We are doing one feeding most every night and he is progressively keeping more and more in his mouth (about 70%).
On a similar note, I bought 2 really cool baby food gadgets from the cutest store in Homewood called Swaddle (across from Smith's). The first is called a "Boon" (see picture below). It is a baby spoon that contains the rice cereal in its base. All you have to do is squeeze the base and more comes out into the spoon. It is really great for taking a meal on the go. The company also makes other really fascinating child toys and gadgets www.booninc.com
The other purchase was a baby food mill. It can mash up most anything (or so the booklet and reviews say). It can also remove all of the undesirables like skins, seeds, etc... I can't wait from another month or so when James is big enough to try some mashed bananas or peas!
