Cereal Time

Gavin has taken such a huge interest in our food lately that we decided it was time for him to get a little of his own. We started yesterday with the rice cereal mixed with some breast milk. He ate it pretty well for his first try. Then tonight, I put enough rice cereal in to mix with 2 oz of milk and he practically ate the whole thing. He was hungry with his mouth wide open. I'll most likely get him going on some organic vegetables this weekend. I can't believe we are already at this point...he's growing up so fast!

The feeding routine has also kicked us in gear to start signing to him. Gavin is very attentive so my guess is that it won't take long before he signs back. I remember to this day when Devin signed for the first time while sitting his high chair and signing for "more." It was such a great moment when he could communicate with us before he could even walk or talk. It is very empowering. To this day, Devin still signs when saying certain things.
