If at first you don’t succeed…

Sean had tried rice cereal a few times before his doctor appointment and HATED it (also see: LOATHED, DESPISED, DETESTED). He made such an awful face when offered it, and even started crying when he would see the container of it being pulled out of the cabinet! 🙂

We did buy some oatmeal yesterday and let him try that. He still hasn’t gotten the skill of swallowing it, he just pushes it around in his mouth for awhile. I tried feeding him some before bathtime last night and he didn’t make an awful face, but wasn’t swallowing it either. When I had him layed on the counter undressing him, I tried a little bit more, and he did well with it. I think laying down helped to get it into the back of his mouth and he was able to figure out how to swallow it. Must be hard to figure out swallowing stuff other than milk for the first time ever! Anyway, we got a cute short video of him eating, he was even making the “MMM!” sound loudly and kicking his feet while eating. I’ll try to get it posted tonight.

Tried to feed him a little more this morning. I didn’t get a bad face, but he wasn’t really feeling it this morning. Will try again tonight. Can’t wait until he actually starts eating more of it. Right now it’s just 3-4 baby spoonulls per session. We’ll keep trying!
