Cereal

So...with the go ahead from the pediatrician, today we tried cereal. We got a few bites down before heading for a bath. It was a great first attempt I do believe. I think next time I'll make it a little thicker. I have been demonstrating my eating oatmeal to them each morning for the past week. They would watch so intently. Yesterday, I bought rice cereal to begin with and First Foods squash and carrots to try down the road. I had a blast reading labels, finding bowls and spoons, and reading up on all the strategies to make it a successful feeding. I guess I am like most moms and want to do it all right to instill good eating habits and healthy choices in Thomas and Maddy. It is looking like we are going to have to round up another set of high chairs for the Valley house. I also need to invest in the bibs that are wipeable and have the pocket at the bottom. Thanks to one of my showers we have one highchair set already in Augusta. For now though, the bumbos will work. What a fun road ahead of us....messy but fun!!

Hope you all have a wonderful Valentine's Day Weekend!!! Lots of love!
