Rice Cereal, Day TWO



In case you couldn't tell, day two of feeding went fabulously!

We thickened up the cereal for the second day, and this seemed to do the trick- he was a huge fan! He was definitely wanting more, but I wasn't sure how this would be for his digestion (my bestie Brooke admonished me- rightly so- that if the kid wants more, feed him! Duh...) ;-)

A second development (it seems that they're coming almost daily right now!) on Monday was that Brewer learned to sip through a straw. He was grabbing for my cup with a wide mouth, wanting to drink! So, without a good baby sippy cup, I grabbed a toddler sippy cup that we had received as a gift. It has a gummy straw instead of a sippy opening. After fumbling with it for a few minutes, he bit the straw and played with it. Then, he started sucking, and because he's stubborn, he kept sucking!! And so, we're drinking through a straw now!

SUCH a fun stage right now!

So proud of that big boy! You will be really happy he is a straw drinker. His pediatrician will be impressed, and his dentist will be thrilled!

Way to go, Big Brew!
