"Rice and cereal"

On Tuesday Abby had "rice and cereal" for the first time! I know you're thinking, "Did Sarah misunderstand what she was supposed to feed her 4 month old? I thought she was an experienced mom?" Okay, we didn't really feed her "rice and cereal." We fed her rice cereal, but Anna calls it "rice and cereal." I had told Anna about a week ago that soon Abby would get to eat real food. I said she would have rice cereal after her baptism. (In my head thinking sometime after the baptism we would get to that.) Anna took it quite literally. Every time Abby reached for my plate in the following days Anna said, "No, Abby, no pizza for you. You have rice and cereal after your baptism." I'm not sure if Anna was disappointed that Abby didn't get her first bowl of "real" food right at the church, but she did seem excited to see Abby eat on Tuesday.

Abby loved her first meal! She slurped each spoon full right down and wiggled her arms in excitement as I got the next one ready.

I like "rice and cereal"!

  1. Has rice and cereal made the bouncy seat a more attractive seating option for Abby?

  2. yes! As long as we are scooping food into her mouth, she seems to accept it!
