James V. Rice Cereal

James has been chewing on his hands almost non-stop this week. His face and hands are sopping wet probably 90% of the time he is awake. So, since he already had his 4-month birthday, and babies are ok to start solids between 4-6 months, we decided that it may be time to see what he thinks of a little baby cereal in his diet-

Here's how it went down:

In one corner- a tablespoon of rice cereal warmed up with a bit of momma's milk mixed in. Soupy-sloppy style.

And in the other corner, our hero, James- armed with protective bib-gear and seated in the bumbo.

Curious.
Disturbed.

Got it!

Frustration!!! (Couldn't tell here if he was mad because he wanted more or if he was just mad.)

Pensive moment.

Can I eat both the fingers and the food?
Sorry Mom, I choose fingers.
Are you seriously still trying?
Yeah. Ok. I guess it tastes good.
Mmm. Quite good.
Wait a minute...
Does this mean it's over?
