Oatmeal Wins!

The other night we started Zoe on food. She really wasn't all that interested in the rice cereal. We video taped some of it, but I will spare you the 4 1/2 minutes of riveting action of baby feeding then spitting, then more feeding and more spitting... you get the picture.It mostly ended up on her face, bib and legs.
A few days later we gave her oatmeal. She loved it and just wanted more even though a lot of it still ended up on her face, bib and leg. (and also daddy's pants and the floor when I picked up the bowl and got it a bit too close to a happy baby's happy arms.)
She opened her mouth and waited for daddy to feed her.
Every time he put the spoon back in the bowl to get more, she would lean over the bumbo and try to reach for daddy's hand.
She really wanted that oatmeal.


So, in conclusion, oatmeal is the winner. But we will not give up on you rice cereal.

Happy Halloween Birthday to Kurt.
Eating food!! She looks like she was very interested in the whole process. It takes awhile for them to coordinate the tongue and the swallowing but that's the fun of introducing food. :-)
