Rice Cereal, Take Two!

We first gave Evan rice cereal on September 4th. We sat him in his Bumbo and while it went pretty well considering it was the first time he was eating anything other than formula from a bottle, it was still challenging. Evan was mesmerized with his new, brightly colored, oversized, washable bib and so he kept his head down to look at it. The Bumbo didn’t help either because while it does allow him to sit upright, it also seemed to cause Evan to lean forward a bit too much. But we kept at it for a few days and then went on vacation where we had no easy way to prop him up to feed him so we didn’t! What horrible parents we are, right? Give Evan food and then take it away from him…how cruel!! He didn’t seem to miss it.

However, now that we are home and a few weeks have passed, we decided to give it another go. Using the high chair…brilliant!! This worked out much better and Evan is a much more eager eater now than he was a few weeks ago. I have noticed him paying more attention to what we eat and he loves his cereal. Won’t be long before we are on to bigger and better foods!! Here is a video to view as well.

Do you like my new chair?

Yeah, this works better!
