So today we tried rice cereal for the first time... oh, so much fun! Caden has woken up hungry in the middle of the night a couple of times in the last week so we think he hasn't been getting enough food during the day for his massive 14 lbs (Linley Grace is 11 lbs + a couple of ounces by the way)! We tried increasing the amount of ounces per feeding but he refuses to take more than 6 at any given feeding. So, on to food. We were going to wait until 6 months (2 weeks away) but I spoke with the pediatrician and she said go ahead, so here we are.
Caden did really well, he figured out how to eat from the spoon, more like sucking from the spoon and by the end he was grabbing my hand and the spoon to help feed himself. Linley Grace on the other hand, not as talented. She hasn't quite gotten the hang of eating at this point... I think more of the cereal ended up on her bib than in her stomach. She would try to swallow but instead of swallowing she ended up thrusting the cereal out of her mouth with her tongue. Don't worry baby girl, you'll figure it out!
FYI... blame the lack of Linley feeding pictures on her daddy!
