Mommy and Daddy Caved!!

Mommy and Daddy Caved!!!

--------

Yes, we FINALLY DID IT!!! Preston Jaymes had his first taste of cereal two days prior to turning 5 months old!! We really wanted to wait until closer to 6 months, but after a little pressure from friends (no one to be named), a little anticipation by us, and Preston not gaining much weight as of late (due to his highly active nature)----we caved!!!

-----

He was very interested in what was in the green bowl and more than willing to take the spoonful of very soupy rice cereal....

But once the spoon was in his mouth---he really didn't know what to think or what to do!!

He did very well trying the first few spoonfuls!!

Although I don't think much of it went down the throat...(darn tongue thrust) but rather back out the mouth and all over the clothes!!

We are happy to report though that tonight on his 3rd try....he finally finished the half a tablespoon of rice cereal .....and actually appeared to get some of it down and perhaps enjoy it....I think he may be catching on to this cereal thing as quickly as he appears to do everything else!!!
