Parker Week 19 – Mmmm, Rice Cereal…
May 29, 2009
Parker has added a new item to his diet – rice cereal. From my perspective, it’s definitely not anywhere close to appetizing. However, the boy doesn’t have much experience when it comes to foods, so we can’t blame him (yet…) He is sitting up better these days, and does great sitting in the highchair. He’s lost that expulsion reflex, so when we put cereal in his mouth, he swollows. He’s paying lots of attention to what we’re eating, and if he’s sitting on a lap, he’ll try to reach out and grab food. All of these indicators led us to trying out rice cereal this week. So far, he’s eating it like a champ! He opens his mouth when the spoon gets close, and swollows what we put in his mouth. It isn’t the “miracle drug” that some parents swear by and he still wakes up at times during the night. Rice cereal does serve to remind me that Parker is growing up so quickly! Much as I want to hold onto him forever, he is growing up and it won’t be long before I can introduce something far more exciting than rice cereal!
