Mmmm...food!

We started feeding Cameron food this week, with mixed results. On Wednesday, we broke out the rice cereal...the undisputed favorite first food recommended by doctors and every book on the market. We mixed it up with some formula, which Cameron is very familiar with, and went to town! The first day he was a little unsure of the texture and flavor. Day 2 was even more unhappy, and by his mid-morning feeding on Day 3 he was crying and pushing back in his chair trying to get as far away as possible from the offending food!



So, on Friday (which as Day 3 of the "Rice Cereal Debacle"), after thrashing around and crying because clearly Mommy was trying to torture him with this mushy nastiness, Daddy picks him up, comforts him, and says, "Why don't we try some carrots?" Fine. So, Mommy pops open the jar of carrots, spoons some into the Little Mini's frowny mouth and...bliss! You would have thought the heavens opened up and angels began singing, doves descending, harps playing. This kiddo LOVES him some carrots. So Mommy sneakily mixes his rice cereal with his carrots, and he has been pounding them down for 2 days now!

This was just a cutey cute picture of my two favorite men that I had to include. Our little Chunky Monkey has (unofficially) weighed in at 20 lbs! Kevin lovingly calls him the Michelin baby. He's mostly smiley and happy, though we've had some cranky days recently. We think there might be some teeth on the horizon. Fun times!
