Just Like Chicken

We started rice cereal a couple weeks ago. Our pediatrician wanted us to try for twice a day.

I wasn't so sure how Carson was going like it.

Some comments about rice cereal provided by coworkers and friends included:

"It's downright messy."

"My kid loved it."

"Phhh, just let daycare do it once a day and call it good. I wouldn't even mess with it at home."

"The last thing mine wanted to do was work for it. It's such as hassle."

So, ready with bowls and spoons, and armed with bibs and washcloths, I tried rice cereal. Mind you, I was on my own at this point. No Brian to help out.

 

We started out in the Bumbo...

I'm not so sure about this Mom...I think I'd rather get distracted by the things around me.

Why the heck are you taking pictures of me?

This is strange. Where's my boob?

 Put that camera down and feed me damnit!

Success? Not even close.

On to Plan B.

We started trying on a Saturday, so I was three failed attempts in when daycare suggested I do it in the bouncer.

Again mom? Really? Are you sure you want me to have another breakdown?

Those teachers are smart at daycare I tell ya. Because it worked wonders! Still messy, but much more successful.

Cereal time is more fun these days. In fact, he loves it.

Well, most of the time.

He also loves toting around his SLR camera like mommy:). Cute bib from Auntie Roback.

 

I have to shovel it in pretty fast or he gets antsy.

He starts kicking his legs or grabs my hand...flinging cereal. Everywhere.

Cereal face!

Nom. Nom. Nom.

I still get distracted by my bib. And have breakdowns when I'm really hungry. I'm a work in progress.

After cereal, we have bathies! Every time. Too messy not to.

I just want to play with my feet Mom!

But thanks for the cereal Mom. Tastes just like chicken!
