she looks like she loved the cereal experience! so cute!! we are way into the foods here now. just started making our own fruits and veggies baby food. pretty fun and cool to see them eat it. a friend encouraged us and i am glad she did. as for the cereal, another friend who is a pedi NP encouraged us to try single grain oatmeal cereal before the rice (if we were not worried about allergies due to family history), as it can be easier to digest. they were fine with both, but we did start with the oatmeal. good luck branching into the world of solids feeding and finding your way. we are still working out a few things over here, including how to deal with the two kiddos starting to drink fewer oz in their bottles regardless of whether the solids are before or after the bottles.

on the dadadada front, jordan says it constantly. our usual response? "daddy can't help you know, buddy!" :P we are also encouraging the mamamamama, too!
