At Henry's 4 month check up, Dr. McD said we could try cereal whenever he was ready. We tried at 4 mos - he wasn't ready. Crying, weeping, wailing, and gnashing of teeth. We tried again a couple of weeks ago with some bananas added - more of the same.
He has always been a big eater, but it has really increased recently. The other day he ate 9 at one sitting for me. Then, tonight, he ate 10 oz and then was famished 2.5 hrs later! So I mixed him up some rice cereal and bananas. After a few timid swallows, he got the hang of it. He was opening up like a little bird every time he saw that food coming - and smiling in between bites.
Here's hoping for a satisfied boy and many nights of long, deep sleep! And thank goodness for the bumbo - that thing is great for feeding little ones. He also likes to sit in it on the table and watch us eat our meals. Guess he'll be joining in on the fun from here on out.
This was a big day for firsts - he also rolled from back to tummy today for the first time.
