Rice Cereal for Chloe

Well, since Chloe is five months old today, we figured we would let her try out some solid food. Dr. Herrbold said I could start with vegetables or rice cereal, if I wanted. He said rice cereal doesn't have a lot of nutritional value, but it would be okay if I wanted to do that first.

I did decide to do the rice cereal. I thought it would be an easier transition for Chloe since I mix it with breastmilk, and it turned out that Chloe really liked it. I was so surprised with how well she did eating it for her very first time.

I don't remember Paige eating so well on her first try. I just remember that she made a bad face and I have this image in my head of the cereal running down her chin. I guess I should go back and read about it on this blog!

Well, you can't really tell that Chloe liked it from her first bite, but she warmed up to it! :)

 Feeling the texture with her tongue...still warming up!

 Paigey wanted to help feed Chloe...Chloe was liking the cereal by this point!  (Apparently, Paige thought opening her mouth for each bite was good modeling for Chloe.  This is so cute because their Daddy does this too!)

 Paige is such a good big sister.  I love watching them together!
