We started little Gray on rice cereal tonight, just shy of his 5 month birthday. We had tried it once before, when he turned 4 months, but that attempt ended in a sleepless night for him (and us) plus a wastebasket full of wet, runny diapers. Sooooooo not fun. So, we waited a month, and now are trying again. The plan as it stands right now is to give him rice cereal for a month and then start him on pureed veggies. The one thing I am not looking forward to is larger, stinkier poops. I am especially apprehensive because JC (he of the allegedly weak stomach) has thus far not been fazed by Graydon's dirty diapers and has been a diaper changing champ. I am worried that once he gets a whiff of these new, malodorous diapers, he is not going to be quite as eager to help out at the changing table. And by "not quite as eager", I mean "throwing up in the corner". But we'll see how it goes. Is it too early to start potty training?
So, here's how it went down. We familiarized him with the spoon...
Then we gave him a taste...
At first, it seemed like he was enjoying it...
But that quickly turned into, "Hmmmm.... Let me think about this...."
Still thinking......this time with a slightly concerned look...
And the verdict is.....
Not a fan! After this mouthful, he pretty much spit everything else out. Oh well, he got a little bit down. Round two tomorrow night. Stinky poop, here we come!
