A First of Many Firsts

Well at Asher's 4 month check up the doctor said when I felt Asher was ready for cereal I could start him out and see how he does with it. So, I had been noticing for a few weeks that he is very observant of David and I when we are eating and the past couple of weeks he has been finishing his bottles in 10 minutes or less and seems to still be hungry. I bought a box of rice cereal at Walmart a week or more ago, but still wasn't ready for that big step. I also didn't have a high chair yet, still don't. I had to borrow one. I didn't want to try and feed him in his bouncy - those feet never stop moving. I didn't want to try and do it in his infant car seat either since I anticipated a mess. So luckily I was able to borrow one. He continued to appear more hungry, so when we came home from our weekend at the beach we attempted rice cereal from a bowl. He did great! Not too big of a mess. So that was Monday afternoon and he has had cereal with his 2nd AM bottle Wednesday and today. He is doing better and better with the spoon and seems to enjoy it. He is getting big so fast. Isn't there a way to slow things down. He is getting more hair too, so he doesn't look like a baby really any more. Thankfully I don't think those cheeks will ever change - they will always be the most kissable, cutest cheeks ever!!
