Last night, we attempted to give Connor his very first feeding of rice cereal.It all went down (5-6 tiny nibbles), just as I expected it would... not well.
But that's okay.
We get to do this once a day for the next 30 days.
Then, once a day with baby food and once a day with cereal for the following 30 days.
And then, once a day with finger food, once a day with baby food, and once a day with cereal for another 30 days.
I'm tired just thinking about it.
But, I know he's going to get used to it, get over it, and ultimately love it. (He really doesn't have a choice!)
When you consider where he started, and all that he's been through, every first is a really big deal!
So, rather than thinking about the fights I have ahead of me for the next few days, (staying optimistic) I'm celebrating that we've made it to this very important first!

blech is right...i don't blame him! :)
you guys are so cute in the video, you're awesome parents!!
Remember to continue having fun with it. He did great, especially compared to all the other babies I watched going through this on YouTube! He is the only one that knows how to make a gagging sound.
oh the joys of solids... wait till he starts eating food (besides rice) you'll love his diapers... oh yeah.
Wait until he spits it back at you! Brian did that with peas - which turned out to be a favorite veggie in his later years! Wonderful video for us to see.
