We've been trying to decide the best time for Kira to get her first cereal. She can sit up almost all by herself now and loves to sit in her bumbo seat. She has also been very curious about mommy and daddy when they eat...watching every bite go from plate to our mouths. Last night we looked over and she was imitating my while I was chewing! It was hysterical! She would chew while I was chewing and stop and smile when I would stop chewing! Now that she has her first tooth and is so interested in food, we decided to give it a try. So, out came our sample of Beech Nut Rice Cereal and her bowl and spoon. (Momma loves Beech Nut because it is organic and soy free.)
She LOVED it! I thought she might push it away since she hates the bottle so much, but she would have eaten the whole bowl if I had let her! She was reaching for more and opened her mouth like a little bird! I think she might have even managed to swallow some of it, but a lot ended up on her bib.
