....or maybe not! Megan gave Drew some rice cereal Saturday night for the first time. It was quite hilarious watching his facial contortions as he tested the stuff. All in all he did quite well but they decided he likes the milk better at this stage in life. He is a bit of a tongue thruster still so she may try in another couple of weeks or so. It is amazing how different it is now compared to when I was raising Matt and Megan. They encourage nothing but milk until 4-6 months. Mark and I had Matt and Megan on cereal at 2-3 weeks and full feed 2-3 months after that! I am amazed my kids even made it to adult status the way I must have done everything wrong. :-) The worst had to be riding in a vehicle "back then". I have included a picture of Drew in my car......when my kids were little we had a full sized van, playpen in the cargo area, toys and snacks tossed in with them. We could have driven across country in that setup and they wouldn't have uttered a peep. When we braked, they simply took a fun nose dive into the netting of the play pen and went back to playing. Can you imagine how horribly unsafe that must have been??!!!! But, that was the way it was in the dark ages!! :-) I will admit that the seat they purchased for my car makes WAY better sense. Especially in Phoenix traffic......toto, we are not in Iowa anymore.

Is Drew having a LITE beer with his Daddy?
Leave it to Cyndy to notice the beer can. I didn't even see it until I read her post. :-)
I think waiting so long is the problem here. Like you, my kids had cereal from an early age and I never saw faces like Drew's. Did they push it out from time to time...definitely. But they never looked as unhappy as he does. :-)
I will say I put the cereal in a bottle instead of trying to feed it with a spoon, so I am sure that helped with the acceptance of it. :-)
