In celebration of Finley's 5 month birthday, he got to try rice cereal! Doctors/books/etc. say you can start solids between 4-6 months, but they also say not to rush it. We were actually planning to wait until closer to 6 months to try any solids, but EVERYONE tells me, 1) it will help with sleep and spitting up, and 2) they started their child even earlier than 5 months, and now their child is at Harvard. We'll see...
Finley seems fine with the cereal so far, although it's going to take some practice for him to figure out how to really eat it. Here's a little photographic evidence of the new adventures in solid foods!
----------------------
We got a hand-me-down high chair last week, so we thought we could try it out for the first feeding. When we actually put Finley in it, he looked tiny and the chair looked massive! It was hilarious. So, we opted to use the Bumbo seat for feeding instead.
Finley probably didn't care all that much about the rice cereal, but he loved the spoon.
"More spoon, please!"
Things got pretty messy after a few bites.
Just when you think he's eaten it and you go to feed him more, out it comes.
