Oh Baby! (Food)

Chad and I finally gave in and fed Tyke baby food!  The plan was to wait until he was 5 months, which is only days away, but it was like waiting for Christmas Day for us....we couldn't stand it!

On 6/11/13 we headed to the grocery store and bought a thing of rice cereal and stage 1 bananas.

By the time we got home poor Tyke was starving, it was almost an hour past his usual 3 hour gap.  We mixed up a batch of rice cereal, which I thought was too runny but we followed the instructions exactly, opened up a thing of bananas and fed the boy!  He really liked the rice cereal.  He kept looking at us with a confused little face, but not a disgusted one.  It was so cute!  Bananas were another story.  He liked them at first, but the more we shoveled them in the more gaggy he became.  His facial expressions were priceless!

The next night we did the same routine except we made the rice cereal a little thicker.  Tyke ate it right up and enjoyed the bananas too!

Tonight we decided to take a break from baby food because our little guy seems to be a bit "backed up."  We need to go shopping for some different varieties of food and get on a good schedule for Tyke.
Also, tonight, Tyke got his toes to his mouth for the first time!

I can't believe our little guy is at this stage in life already!  We're sure having fun with him and look forward to every new day.  Life is good!
