Rice Cereal

Natalie has been eating rice cereal for nearly two weeks already. Her first "meal" was on Mother's Day. Yesterday was the first time she opened her mouth when she saw the spoon coming and tonight she finished her whole bowl! Tonight she was pretty messy though as she realized she likes to grab the spoon and the cereal on it. Below is a picture of her first experience with cereal.

LOL! I have a messy cereal photo of Katie's first spoonful too! It was around this age when my Mom finally caved and gave me the "secret recipe" for sleep.

Take a 4 ounce bottle, add 3 ounces of warmed formula, 1 teaspoon Gerber banana and 1 teaspoon rice cereal. Cut a hole in the nipple by making a small "X". Shake well and serve before bedtime.

These bedtime banana milkshakes saved my sanity. These are great for colic, upset tummys, potty #2 problems and cranky times. We still have them today, but made differently like a smoothie and it still works wonders.

How did Natalie do on the photo contest? -Margie
