Adventures in eating
Today Alex got his first taste of something besides breast milk or formula. He had rice cereal for breakfast!
The doctor told me last week that Alex was ready for solids. We had been planning to start them after our trip down south (coming up in a couple of weeks), but judging by the response we got this morning, it's a good thing we didn't wait any longer.
We haven't bought a high chair yet so we fed him in the bouncy seat. He was so excited about his breakfast that he started kicking his feet, and the chair was bouncing and bouncing! Some of the pictures came out really blurry.
After every mouthful he would look around for more, and start yelling if it didn't come quick! And then when I put the bowl away and took him to the sofa to have some milk, he stared across the room at the breakfast table for a long time, like he was wondering where his food went. I guess he was ready after all!
If you want to see a video of Alex eating, and going crazy in the chair, click on over to youtube. And if you want to see the rest of the pictures from breakfast, they're up in the June gallery on Flickr.

Oh god, that's adorable :D Love how you're feeding him on the easy-to-clean part of the floor. Smart lady!
