Baby #1 started cereal yesterday, but she really ATE it this morning. A whole tsp! It was the cutest thing. She had a little difficulty keeping it all in her mouth the first few spoonfuls, but I found that if you angle the spoon up and almost let it drip into her mouth while she is facing up (with her mouth open), it goes down easier than feeding her face to face.
I'm so happy that she is eating more than just formula...The formula smells awful and it tastes worse. The cereal looks, smells and tastes good :) Hehehe...I'm one of those mothers who must taste everything for herself before it is given to baby. I can't wait to feed her again! I never knew just how much fun it is to feed her. She also drank her entire bottle after wards (as she should) so I was very happy. I am going to be careful to teach her good eating habits and manners. So, I make it a point to feed her at the table. Giving her the bottle is different. I like to hold her for that because it's comforting and it's the only time I can pick her nose! Once she starts drinking from a cup, it will be different. I would like to see her eating more and more at the table with us.
She's just chilling in her play place now, biting on Sofie's ears and occasionally smiling and kicking as I type this. She is so precious.
The debate over whether or not to get a highchair was solved. No highchair necessary as she has this three in one space saver chair that just straps onto a kitchen chair and it works just fine. It's wonderful as it doesn't take up anymore space than a chair at the table and it converts to a booster chair when she gets older. You can easily take it off the chair and she can sit in it on the floor (a better alternative to the costly Bumbo chair). Another plus with this highchair/seat is that it is easy to transport and set up. If anyone is further interested in the product, please let me know. I can write a little more about it in another post, or send you the details via e-mail.
