First attempt at rice cereal...

I'm still not sure if this first attempt at giving Carver cereal was a success or not. He probably only took about 10 bites and didn't seem all that interested. Though he was interested in the spoon. I had to hold his hands down to try to get the spoon all the way to his mouth without him grabbing it.

I really did not want to start rice cereal until he was a full six months old. Instead he is one week short of five months. But, his doctor has been suggesting it for awhile now, as an attempt at curbing some of his spitting-up (which has reached epic proportions). We'll keep trying the (organic!) rice cereal and pray and pray that it helps. The amount he spits up is seriously shocking, and I admit, incredibly irritating. Luckily, it doesn't seem to bother him all that much.

But, I feel like we need to have a sign made for Carver to wear around his neck. So many people (we know) want to hold him but he really needs a disclaimer, something along the lines of, "Hold at your own risk, you will be covered in regurgitated breast milk," it's not a question of if, but when.
