Brooklyn's First Attempt at Cereal

Brooklyn had her first attempt at eating rice cereal on Monday. It was very successful and messy. She ended up with more on her than in her. I'm not sure she actually ate any of it but it sure was funny to watch her. We set her a little area up in the kitchen for her to have her first feeding of baby food. Matthew put a big blanket down on the kitchen floor and then we sat her in her bumbo after tying a plastic bib on her. Needless to say she still ended up with it everywhere. It was so adorable. There is nothing like witnessing your child's first attempt at eating baby food. On Tuesday we had the speech therapist come out and do an assessment on Brooklyn's tongue and a little demo lesson on feeding with a spoon. It was very helpful. At this point her tongue doesn't seem to be a problem so we are on track to continue with our daily attempts of feeding her rice cereal. We were thankful to hear that she is right on track for her adjusted age. I am going to attempt to post some pictures and videos of Brooklyn's first eating experience with rice cereal. The videos are in windows media player.
