Todd had been dreaming of this day since the day we discovered I was pregnant.....Ah yes, the day finally came that we attempted to give Reese a little taste of something other that milk.... So rice cereal it was! So sticky, so clumpy, and oh so tasty!
I had promised Todd that he could give her the very first spoonful of food and he was stoked! Reese knew to open her mouth when the spoon came to it right away. What was confusing was figuring out to do with the strange substance in her mouth once it was in there. So, when in doubt, spit it out!! Yes, more definitely came out than went it, but I like to think a little bit actually made it all the way down into her tummy. Maybe just a little bit?? Check out this video and tell us what you think!
All in all, it was pretty darn funny! I think there will be a definitely learning curve involved both on her part an on ours, but it is getting better. We have since moved on to oat cereal and it seems to be much more of a crowd pleaser...both for Reese and for us!

Such discerning taste for one so young. Did you happen to taste the rice cereal? Cardboard I tell ya! Oatmeal is marginally better and obviously she can tell. :)
This is so great! It definitely takes a few times for them to get the knack of swallowing something other than milk...but when they do, watch out!
