Everett vs. Rice Cereal

Everett had his first taste of rice cereal this weekend... unfortunately he didn't take to it.

He was really excited to sit in his booster seat:

He was excited to see the spoon coming towards his mouth and wanted to help me get it there faster:

But once he got the rice cereal in his mouth, something weirded him out. The expressions Everett can already make with his eyebrows cracks me up:

And then whatever was on the spoon ended up on his chin:

We tried again a couple more times this weekend with the same result. Could just be a texture and flavor thing... who could possibly be excited over tasteless, watery rice cereal? Maybe next weekend we'll try bananas or peas. For now we'll be sending Everett off to daycare with the rice cereal, maybe his caregiver will have better luck (but I doubt it).

Everett caught his first cold at daycare. Besides have a really runny nose, he seems to be his regular, happy, screeching self. He's getting really, really close to crawling. He spends a lot of time rocking back and forth on his knees, and he can turn himself in circles to get to his toys, which makes for fun video clips of Everett:



3 more days til Everett's 6-month birthday. Can you believe it?
