First Taste of Cereal

Well, on Monday I decided I would try feed the baby some cereal. At the 7 pm feeding I tried and it went ok. It was supremely messy and a little difficult. I was hoping he'd take to it like my nephew did. Not so much. According to the box (and the web site that went along with it) I should keep the cereal really runny to get him used to the new texture (and let him play with it. YEAH RIGHT?!?!). I tried the runny cereal part. He wasn't feeling it. On Wednesday, my mother's helper accidentally gave it to me super thick, more like conjealed oatmeal. He liked that consistancy much better. So now I make it nice and thick and he takes it down. Today, second feeding of the morning, he took down all two teaspoons of food that I gave him. He has gotten really good at it in just 5 days (4 really, since I started late on monday). So now I'm wondering if I can feed him some bananas or something since I'm going to be out and about for the next feeding. Hmmm...We'll see.
