Parker's First Meal

At our pediatrician appointment last week, she encouraged us to go ahead and start Parker on solids.  It's a little earlier than we started with Carter but we figured it might help the little guy put on some more weight, we could stop giving him those nasty poly-vi-sol vitamins and it might help him sleep a little better.  So we picked up a box of rice cereal and gave it a shot!

Here is a picture of his first bite.

We wasn't quite sure what was going on...

But he definitely liked it!

He made the cutest faces throughout the "meal".  He seemed to be trying really hard to get it right.

He did a great job opening his mouth and keeping it down.

We only gave him a tiny bit to start but he took it all.  Carter (our baby food adviser) and dad were very proud of Parker.

Carter also played a dual role as eating coach as well!

Parker did great and seemed to enjoy himself so we'll keep giving him meals as long as he keeps acting like this!
