First Cereal

So the new "rules" from the pediatric pros is that we should wait until babies are 6 months old to give them rice cereal. It used to be four. So I decided to compromise and wait until about 5 months. As expected, this was a love/hate experience for Penelope. She did good in the beginning and was pretty much trying to suck down the thin cereal like she would milk. Then she started to get mad. So we'll try again soon. This is my least favorite feeding stage - well, maybe it's tied with when kids start to want to do everything themselves and make a huge mess. The fun that awaits. :)
