First Rice Cereal 2-4-2010 - bleck!

I made some home-made rice cereal (wheat) by putting the grains in our coffee grinder and grinding to a powder-like consistency. I then cooked the cereal as normally would on the stove. After removing it from the heat, I let it cool A LOT. I then took a small amount and added some formula to water it down some more to make it palatable for the baby. He's 4 months and 10 days old and has been grabbing at my plate since he was 3 1/2 months old. This is his first time having "solids". Hey, at least he didn't cry!

He's 2 years old now and boy...watch this kid eat! I still cook fresh for him but he'll try anything new now :)

All babies do that at first. It's the fact its a new texture. They're used to milk and so anything else like rice cereal and baby food is new and strange. After 3-4 tries he'll love it. :) I'm sure you know this already but still thought I'd add that in there...
