Yummy Yummy Yummy I've got love in my tummy...

Last week Silas started to eat cereal. When I say eat, I mean he spit it out right after I put it in his mouth... so it would be all over his face, bib, and hands. (see previous post) :) Well... today Silas took a very long nap and after his nap he was very hungry. So instead of going straight for the bottle, mom and dad encouraged me to try cereal first (Usually I give him a little bit of milk before the cereal). I was very reluctant to do that because he was screaming and I knew that cereal wasn't going to calm him down, but I tried it anyways. He cried while eating the first few bites, but mom made him a bottle and would give him a sip between every few bites and he eventually calmed down and ended up eating the whole bowl of cereal in just a few minutes! By bowl, I mean he had a TBSP of cereal mixed with 2 TBSP of water... and we put in some applesauce to help him with his poop! :) So since he did so well with the first bowl, I decided to make a TSP of cereal... and he ate all of that as well! I am so proud of him! I was starting to feel like he just wasn't catching on to eating with a spoon... but tonight proved that he can really do it. And the best part is that he hardly spit it out! I was so excited that I just had to post about it... and also I'm trying to do a better job of posting more often! I hope everybody had a great weekend and I hope your week is as equally great! I probably won't be posting this week... I tend to not have as much time during the week when I have to work! :)
