Natalie's First Foods

When Ryan joined our family I just couldn't wait for all the milestones.  As soon as he turned 4 months old, I was giving him rice cereal and so happy to do so.  With Natalie, I'm learning to savor the babyhood a bit more.  It all goes by so fast as it is - no need to rush her along.

Natalie began really showing interest in food just shy of her 5 month birthday.  If we were holding her while we were eating, she'd try and grab our fork, the food, the plate, our cup, and even our teeth.  Since I had already brought the high chair in and it was sitting in the kitchen...we had two kinds of baby cereal...and a very willing participant, we decided to give it a go. 

Since we had "issues" giving Ryan rice cereal, I opted to try oatmeal with Natalie.   She was SO excited.  I made it quite a bit thicker than I did when Ryan started cereal....and she LOVED it.  

 She loved it up until her second bowl...
