And I thought my kid wasn't ready to eat "real" food. Mark this one down in the book of
Things Mommy Was Wrong About. (I'm sure it'll be a long, long book after a few years...I'm still waiting on the baby instruction manual to arrive in the mail.) It really shouldn't be shocking that Lukas is a food lover considering he
is my son. And it's no secret to anyone who knows me that I love food. I can get especially ornery if I go too long without eating. I'd never make it as an anorexic. Binge eater, perhaps. Anorexic, never.
Ok, where was I? Oh yes, the kiddo. So we're on Day Six of eating rice cereal. He's now eating it at "school" in the morning with his first bottle and then at home for dinner. I'm planning on sticking with just rice cereal for another few days, mainly because I'm heading out of town this weekend with the babe and figure I shouldn't make any sudden dietary changes when an airplane is involved. An airplane pooping incident is not something I want to experience just yet, if ever. I'm thinking next week or the following week we'll add in some vegetables or maybe a different kind of cereal. And on the plus side, Lukas has slept great the past two nights - only waking up once to eat! I'm not sure if this can be attributed to the additional chow, but I'll take it, whatever it's from! (I think the worst of the teething, for now, is behind us - his two bottom teeth have cut through the gums now. If he would open his mouth long enough for me to take a picture I would, but it ain't happening.)
I did snap some pictures of him eating last night. The whale got the worst of it...
