Yeah, the rice cereal wasn't a big hit when I was spooning it to him. It is processed so that it is like a powder that you mix with your breastmilk or formula. I think it would be too runny for him to eat on his own- but I have the rest of the box, and a box of oatmeal too. I hate to waste it. I'll try mixing the rice with mashed potatoes. That sounds like it would be fine. DH is traveling most of the week, so I will be preparing meals for just DS and myself.
Cadie's mum- It is so fun to see their faces when they try new foods. Timmy's best face was when he had asparagus- one of his first foods. He was making the funniest face, and quivering his whole body- but he kept putting back in his mouth! I wish I had a picture or video of it! I'll have to take some pictures while he is eating. DH took a pic with his phone of DS eating an apple. It's pretty funny because the apple is almost as big as his head!
Question- Do you peel the skin off of the fruits like apples? I bit a piece off for him to gnaw at, but he has teeth, and has been biting the skin off in other places.
