First bites

A few weeks ago we let Daniella play with a spoon in preparation of feeding. She had a lot of fun with this activity.

Then this past Wednesday when she wanted to eat every 2 hours and during one of the feedings she ate for over an hour, I decided it was time to introduce something more to her diet. So, this Friday we gave Daniella rice cereal for the first time. This was a learning experience for me as much as it was for her. She tried a few bites but she was tired and frustrated that I was not giving her the spoon to play and bowl to play with. I realized that we were trying a little too late in the evening for her and since then we have started feeding her during our dinner time and she seems to enjoy it more. Here are pictures of today's feeding.

As you can see from the pictures, very little cereal was actually ingested, but she is having fun and we are learning together.
