My friend Angie sent me a message at work a couple weeks ago asking if I had given Baby J rice cereal yet. I kind of started to panic! Was I supposed to?! I've never had a baby before, so I have no clue what to do! So I kind of read online (and talked to a few of my friends) about starting Baby J on oatmeal. Our Ped had told me to do the oatmeal instead of the rice to help with his tummy, so oatmeal it was! I decided to try buying some & putting a little in with his bottle right before bed. I did & it helped him sleep a lot longer that night (not that I'm not TOTALLY blessed that he sleeps 8 hours at a time anyway). So I decided to try mixing the oatmeal in a bowl & feeding it to him with a spoon...
At first he didn't want to eat it.
And then he started making a mess.
That's when he finally started wanting to eat more...
And now, he get's REALLY grumpy if he doesn't get it eat it for dinner every night. Good thing he can only handle about 10 bites before he's done. Feeding him people food is going to be a test of my patience!
I LOVE the giraffe costume. What a cutie! I agree that all holidays have much more meaning when you have your own child. I can't believe Jason is already 5 months old, although he looks about as big as my 10-month-old Hannah. They really need to meet each other one of these days. :)
