Our 5 month old has been communicating for quite some time now that he’s eager to enter the world of high chairs and baby food. He has officially become a “supported sitter” and sneakily attempts to swipe our food and drinks whenever we bring them to our mouths.
So today he and I strolled down to the grocery store to purchase our first ever box of rice cereal. Based on some information I’ve read about giving babies white vs. wheat rice cereal as their first solid, I decided to go with “Earth’s Best” organic whole grain rice cereal. We walked home and I waited until his next middle-of-the-day feeding to get things ready. Brian was able to come home for lunch so that he could be with us for Matthew’s first time eating in his high chair, which was awesome. We got to do it together and get some fun pictures and videos in the process!
Here he is before…
…during…
…and after!
Not too shabby. Welcome to the world of solids, little man!
