First time eating cereal...

Well I have debated giving Addy cereal for about a week or so now. She is doing everything developmentaly that she should to start eating cereal and stage 1 veggies and fruits (assisted sitter) and she has really been interested when Matt and I eat. She follows the food from our forks to our mouths and even moves her mouth like she is chewing when we do it. The doctor said we would introduce it to her at 4 months (2 weeks away) but im her mom and I think she is ready so we gave it to her!

At first she just wanted to eat and we couldnt get it in her mouth fast enough. So i gave her a bit of her formula to calm her down to where she wasnt acting like she was starving. Once she was calm and ready to eat i started giving her the cereal she liked it i think. She gobbled it up once she realized the spoon was in her mouth.

I think were going to start giving it to her around dinner time everyday and once i see she is handling it well then i will give her cereal in the morning and a fruit or veggie at night. Alternating between veggies and fruits! Cant wait to see how she reacts to sweet potatoes :)
