So we tried rice cereal with Avery the other night! Unless you're a Mom or a Nanny, you are probably clueless (like we were a few days ago) about what "rice cereal" is... and, no, it's not the "Snap-Crackle-Pop" stuff. Rice Cereal is kind of like Instant Mashed Potatoes for babies. It's really just flaky white stuff that you stir into Mom's milk and it thickens it up into a cream-of-wheat type substance. Even though there is a whole long list of nutrients on the box, my Pediatrician says it's not really for nutritional value, but to teach babies how to eat something instead of just drinking their meals. The first few bites were interesting... she has no problem with the whole spoon-to-mouth thing, but doesn't quite get the swallowing part yet. She did REALLY well though, for a first-timer! :)
It's exciting watching her grow up little by little! (I can't believe she's coming up on SIX months.... didn't we JUST bring her home?!) Here are some fun pictures of her first bites!
