Xander and the Cereal


On Friday, April 18th, a comment when I picked up Xander at daycare made a new decision easy for us.

It was time to start him on cereal.

Angie said that she had to give him an 8 oz. bottle that day so we knew that the porker needed a little more to keep his belly full.

We had tried a few times to put some cereal in his bottle, but I think it was too thick for him to pull out like he wanted, so he gave up. This time we spoon-fed him, which we knew was going to be an adventure.

The first try that night was unsuccessful. He was really sleepy, so he didn't want to take it. About an hour later he was wide awake, so we tried it again.

At first he wasn't quite sure what to think of us giving him the cereal, but after a few spoonfuls he was eating it up.

He finished off about 3/4 of what we had made for him, finished his bottle and went right to sleep.

I think it was a good decision on our part!
