ah, the entertainment…

Well, my expectations were definitely too high!

I was soooo excited about Alana’s first rice cereal feeding, since I thought she’d be so eager to eat! She always watches me eat with such enthrallment that I assumed she would thrive on her chance to taste something new. I thought she’d eagerly gobble down the newfound taste sensation and leave the bowl empty.

I was wrong.

She was positively entertaining, though, so I was only mildly disappointed. All she wanted to do was gnaw on the soft Gerber spoon…not eat the rice cereal. In fact, her little tongue just pushed the foreign substance around a bit before letting it dribble back out of her mouth.

Here she is in her new high chair for the first time. A bit too little, a bit too slumped, and just not entirely ready for cereal. Alas, we will keep trying.

Alana’s first bite

By the time we turned off the video and I took over trying to feed Alana, she was thoroughly annoyed by the whole process, so Rich grabbed this shot and then we concluded. Until next time!

I hope you’ve all been entertained as much as we were:)

Hey! We found that Norah was also too small for a highchair when it was time to start her on cereal. We tried the bumbo and it was okay, but what worked great for us for about another 4-6 weeks was strapping her in her bouncy chair to eat cereal. It kept her upright enough to eat and not choke, but strapped in and contained enough to not flop over every few minutes. hope that helps. she is SO sweet. we love checking in on her.
