Nolan has never been an exceptionally good nurser… we had some issues with latch in the beginning, and he continues to be specific about the places in which he will eat. Weird. And he still does not take a bottle, despite the 4 or 5 different types we’ve tried. But we’ve finally found something he’s good at… eating big people food! Okay, maybe not BIG people food. But he is definitely a natural at the rice cereal thing. For months he’s been watching us intently as he sits on our laps during meal time, and he recently started grabbing for our plates and utensils. So it was no surprise that when I broke out the rice cereal this morning he thought it was fabulous. He even thought that he should be controlling the spoon. Seriously, I cannot believe my little baby is already old enough to eat food (despite it’s watery consistency). But his look pretty much said, “I can’t believe you’ve been holding out on me this long!”
