Cereal Time

At 4 months old, Holden is allowed to start rice cereal. We gave him his first bowl on Wednesday morning. He did a great job eating with a spoon. He actually got the food down; he's a natural. The rice cereal was....well, how can I say this, binding. Luckily, Nana Judy was here to help during the upset tummy time. She's a pro; she knew just what to do to help soothe little Holden's tummy. After trying all of Nana's tricks and having a couple of conversations with the nurse line at our pediatrician's office, we've switched to single grain oatmeal cereal. Holden loves it! He ate two whole tablespoons for dinner tonight and cried for more. He's really growing up, and I can't believe it!
