Kyle Likes Rice Cereal!
At Kyle's 6 month appointment the doctor gave us the go ahead to start solid foods so we decided Monday, 7/30/07 would be the day. First up is Rice Cereal. It's basically this flaky, powdery stuff that you mix with breast milk or formula. You start off with a really runny consistency and work up to a thicker texture, usually feeding only about 1-2 teaspoons the first few times. Some babies don't like solid food in the beginning and so it takes many tries to get them to eat it.
Not Kyle. Oh no. He would have eaten the whole bowl if we let him.
As it was, half-way through the first feeding he was already "helping" us with the spoon. As was expected he also managed to get it all over himself; which was so much fun to watch.
Right now he only "eats" once a day around breakfast time. Next week we'll move to twice a day - breakfast and lunch - and we'll add another food, most likely a finely pureed vegetable. Then the third week we'll be up to three "meals" a day - breakfast, lunch and dinner - and we'll add yet another type of food. I can't wait to see how it all goes!
