Four Months & First Cereal

Jackson had his four month check up and got a great report.  He is off the charts tall, measuring 27 3/4 inches.  He is 15lbs 8oz which puts him at 54% on the growth chart.  He is a growing boy.  The doctor said that I could start cereal if I wanted to.  I'm torn between starting solids now or waiting until he is 6 months old, there are conflicting views about when to introduce food.  I decided to go ahead with a little bit of rice cereal.

I fed Tessa in this position for months but it is not so easy with Jackson who is bigger and wigglier.  We moved right on to the highchair after this first time.  Jackson is undecided about whether or not he likes cereal.  At this point, food is about learning how to eat more than nutrition so it's okay that he only takes a few spoonfuls a day.  Tessa, however, thinks it's the coolest thing in the world to feed him.  She is so sweet wanting to take care of him!
