Will's First "Solid" Food

We finally broke down and gave Will some rice cereal this week (he's 19 weeks old). He's been making chewing motions, showing great interest in our food, and most importantly, still getting up at least twice a night to eat. He's a hungry guy!

Here is Will eating rice cereal for the first time. He wasn't so sure what to think at first but he seemed to dig it.

The second day he cried and cried in between spoonfuls. We couldn't figure it out - was he uncomfortable? Was the spoon not right? Maybe the cereal was hurting his tummy? Finally it dawned on us - we weren't feeding him fast enough. Once we picked up the pace, he happily snarfed down the whole bowl.

We've created a monster. I hope we don't end up with the Staypuff Marshmallow Baby.

Oh and yes, he still got up twice to eat last night. :(
