Rice Cereal Day

So, don't be deceived from the pictures - he really did NOT enjoy the big rice cereal introduction! He went for it the first few times, but then started gagging and shuddering even when I brought the spoon close to his mouth! It was pretty funny though, none the less! I was a little disappointed, because I thought he'd like it for some reason.

He liked playing with the spoon, but if it touched his mouth he would shudder again!

Silly boy! We'll just have to try again and again until you like it! Ha ha! Did your kids like it the first time around?



P.S. - Please don't call the "Bumbo Police" for having it up on the table, I was sitting right there with him! :)

  1. I don't blame you Mr. Max! That stuff is sorta gross! My kiddos didn't ever like rice cereal either until I mixed it with lots of applesauce! (unsweetened organic applesauce of course! Stacy would be proud!)

  2. I think it takes the kids a time or two to get "used" to the cereal (or pretty much anything new, at least with Mary), but now she loves it. I've never had the shuddering thing, though.

    I used to put the Bumbo up on the table too (and on the counter while I was cooking). I stopped when Mary got too wiggly, though.

  3. I remembered that night when I got home (after you asked) that I mixed Dallen's with formula. Good luck!!

  4. So cute and funny! Ben never really liked rice cereal either--too bad we still have boxes and boxes of it. :) He actually wasn't too hot on any baby food and went to real food pretty quickly. Good luck! This is such a fun and funny stage!
