Starting Solids

We decided to start solid foods for Tommy.  Sort of.  We bought some rice cereal and mixed it with his milk.

He didn't actually ingest much of it the first time around.  It mostly ended up on his shirt.  So I took the remainder and put it in his bottles like they tell you NOT to do since I had hoped it would help him sleep through the night.

It took him a bit longer but he ate it all.

 Have I mentioned that breastfeeding is hard? This is why.

Anyway, he did NOT sleep through the night.  He was up 3 times that night.  It upset his tummy a little bit.

I tried it once more after this but his tummy was still upset.

 So I switched to oatmeal cereal.  As you can tell, it's not as sweet as the rice cereal.  He makes an odd face when eating it.  But he's picking up the spoon feeding skills pretty quick.

I'm not in any big hurry to get him on solids but it's fun to try to feed him every once in awhile... except for when he spits it all up afterwards.  All that hard work... on the floor... being licked up by Brian.  :)
