Shall we Eat?

Hello all. Hope that all is well. Let us dive right into the topic at hand. The wonderful world of Rice Cereal. Praise God that we do not have to eat this stuff because quite frankly, it seems disgusting. Ok to feed to babies. Not ok to feed to me. Don't hate.

So, Addy has turned 4 months old, and we have reached the time where we start to introduce what I like to call "Solid-er" food. It looks to me like a mix between just straight up breast milk and grits. Let's just put it this way, if you were hungry and you saw this stuff, you might decide that skipping a meal wouldn't kill you. I digress. The major point of the first couple of feedings is to get Addy used to using her tongue to swallow the food down instead of using it like she is used to while breast feeding. First try = FAIL. It was funny. We would put the spoon to her mouth and she would try to lap it up like a dog. It was great.

We will continue to try, and she will get it. Maybe with the amount that got on her face and hands we will find a hidden off-label use of rice cereal mixed with breast milk as a top-of-the-line moisturizer. Hey, one can hope right?

"They think I don't know how to eat it, but do you see this stuff? Why don't you eat it."

Until next time, enjoy your meals.

Blessings,
