chew chew

Out of boredom, and the wonder if Ethan is feeling satisfied after eating (he seems a little frustrated sometimes after nursing) I thought I'd give him a sampling of rice cereal this morning after his breakfast nursing. I'm not sure he liked it - he made these funny faces, which might be due to a new consistency in his mouth, that isnt sweet, and is a bit chewy. I think he may have swallowed about a teaspoon in total - so we'll try it again maybe tomorrow so he can get used to the sensations, without really using the cereal for nutritional value at this point.

It could be a bit early, too, introducing solids like this at 4 1/2 months. Which is why I won't push it. He's just been so interested in watching me eat the last few weeks, I thought it might be time to try it here and there.

In other news, we're off to walmart today to try to get some more bibs and clothes for him since he's growing out of everything. Then Troy returns from out of town this afternoon. And then its Monday.

And so it goes.
