Oatmeal

Big guy started oatmeal on Friday night. The stage was set. Breastmilk was mixed with baby oatmeal in a paper bowl with cute baby spoons. A blue spoon for the big guy and a supplementary spoon to play with. Big guy sat on hubs' lap. I gave the oatmeal a stir(it's really a liquid more than a solid) and moved the spoon towards big guy's mouth and he opened up really wide and took the spoonful. Of course the majority of it came right back out in drool, but he seemed to like it. We continued to eat this way with bubbles, raspberries, and more drool expelling a good amount of oatmeal. However, he really liked eating and truthfully this is just practice for eating, as he is still breastfeeding for all of his meals. It was really cute having him open his mouth really wide and smile as he was eating. And he slept great that night to boot! I think our first oatmeal experience was definitely a success. Which also means my little man is growing up now that he's eating real food.
