Max experienced rice cereal for the first time being fed by Daddy on Sunday, September 6 with guests Ali and Uncle Valdis watching. I recorded it for posterity (RE: Max's grandparents and great grandparents). I'll try to post that later. Despite showing all the signs of being ready to eat, he wasn't quite sure what to do with it. I tried again tonight, but he just gave me a dirty look as if to say, "What is this yucky stuff, Mommy?" His formula tastes awful and he seems to choke that down just fine--in fact, he's holding his own bottle now! When Lou put the spoon of cereal into Max's mouth at first he was excited, maybe because I was videoing it, Ali was taking photos, and Valdis was looking on--so, all eyes were on Max, the way he likes it! He soon gave us all the dirty face--"what is this you're feeding me???" So, after trying again tonight with a failure to consume, bananas are next...
