Rice Cereal

Mommy and Daddy gave in and decided to let Pennington try rice cereal this weekend. We say gave in because most doctors are currently recommending that you wait until the child is 6 months old before they start solid foods. (Note: Pennington is 5 1/2 months old). Pennington's doctor did say that it would be okay to practice eating a little bit of rice cereal before he turned 6 months old because the child needs to practice several times before they get they hang of eating solid foods from a spoon. Now that we have fed a young child for the first time we can definitely agree with that. Pennington didn't seem to like the rice cereal at all. We decided that for the next week or so we will put some rice cereal in one of his bottle feedings so he can get used to the taste. We tried feeding him again today and it went much better. Below are a few pictures of Pennington eating rice cereal for the first time.
