Tasting "Real" Food!

Our little baby starting eating rice cereal today for the first time - sniff, sniff! Chad and I LOVE each and every stage that Clayton goes through, but, at the same time, we're sad to see him growing up so fast!! When we went to the pediatrician's yesterday for Clayton's 4 month check-up, we were given the go-ahead to start cereal. The doctor said that from 4-6 months solid foods are not for nutritional purposes because babies end up spitting most of it out. By 6 months, Clayton will be eating solid foods 3-4 times per day. At that time, we can take away a bottle. Luckily, Grandma gave us some whole grain rice cereal when Clay and I visited last weekend. Chad and I were pleasantly surprised with how well he took to the spoon and new food texture. Here are a few pictures.
What is this crazy stuff?
This is kind of fun!!
Daddy is doing such a good job of feeding me!
Uh, oh! I'm spitting most of it out!
Okay, Mommy's turn to feed me!

I want to feed him when I come next. Hope to come sometime soon. Mrs. Keene offered to watch him some Friday soon and that will be a good chance for me to come.

What a darling baby. It is so nice to be able to keep up with Clayton's day to day with the blog. Jean did you get a package from me? I sent it to your Mom's house.
