Hannah tries rice cereal for the first time today ***updated with pics and video

[sparks19]

Well... today could be a fun day lol. We are going to try giving hannah some rice cereal today. She has become VERY interested in my food lately and is eager to get at it. So I figure we will try giving her something new

I am waiting until hubby gets home so one can feed her and one can take pictures and video it. Should be an interesting experience lol.

I'm curious to hear how she reacts. Katherine wasn't really thrilled with it at first, but she likes it okay now since I can make it thicker for her. What she really likes are her fruit and veggie baby foods. Those have gone over a lot better.

LOL yeah it should be interesting to see.

Did you just use water to mix yours? it says you can use water or formula/breastmilk. I think I will just use water to start

I can't wait to see the pictures!!!!!

LOL I will upload the pictures when I have a little more time... but the verdict... she doesn't like rice cereal at the moment lol.

I tried it with water and with formula and she made this gaggy face everytime it touched her tongue lol. BUT.. then I tried it... no wonder she hates it. it tastes like nothing... PAPER has more flavor lol.

This will definitely take time for her to get used to. We got some good shots of her and a little video so I will upload those tonight and post them ASAP.

haha, her face must have been priceless, and i can't wait to see the pics. Lydia *hated* cereal....I couldn't even mix it into fruits or veggies. But after she had the flu, I fed it to her because it was easy on her stomach, and now she loves it.

I think I will try mixing it with some pedialyte or a little gripe water to give it a little sweet kick and maybe she will be more into it.

Anyway without further ado... PICS in sequence

waiting to start

are you ready YET?

EWWW this is what I was waiting for?

OH you want to give me MORE?

YUCKKKK

Alright I will try it again

Open wide

Nope... not better this time around either

[sparks19]

Sorry--I didn't see the post until too late. I think I tried formula the first time and water the second time. Neither one went over well. Now I use warm water, but I make it really thick. It still isn't her favorite, but she will eat it. I don't know that I'll buy her another box when this is done, though.

Looks like Belle likes to protect the baby!

That's ok... I tried it with just warm water first and then formula after she didn't like the first one. The box I have will probably get her through until she starts on fruits and veggies... we got it at BJ's and it was $2.50 for an 8 oz box of rice and an 8 oz box of oatmeal. so I can't complain lol.

It looks that way lol but really that is A) her spot on the couch... and B) her hoping she might get leftovers (although I doubt she would want them lol) Belle is the playmate and Beezer is the protector

OMG!! can she get any Cuter????? Loved the pics, especially the last one!!! Yeah Rice cereal never went well with my son either!! LOL!!!

[Sonia59]

Oh I loved the videos! The one with the doggies is very cute

Last week-end we just tried the very first spoon of veggies (carrots) with Valentine, as she staterd being very interested in the food I was eating. She did not really eat something, it was more to test the consistency, taste, etc. It will go better next time I think.

HAHA yeah that is probably my favourite too... she just looks like she's about to puke from the grossness hahaha.

I tried it today with some pedialyte and it wasn't anymore popular than it was yesterday. Still get the shudder everytime I put some in her mouth.

perhaps I will try some of the oatmeal stuff we have and see if that has a better flavor
