Nora Meets Rice Cereal

The doctor advised us to start Nora on rice cereal first, even though it is totally disgusting. I remember it took Jonah months before he wanted to eat any kind of cereal, and even then he only liked it with fruit mixed in. But we gave it a try with Nora anyway. She was quite pleased to be sitting up in the high chair. Poor little girl… she had no idea what was about to happen.

After batting the spoon away a few times, a tiny bit made it past her lips.

Her initial reaction:

It didn’t get any better from there.

She definitely did not even swallow a total of a spoonful, and was pretty well horrified by the attempts, so I let her see if she just wanted to play with the cereal. At first she was curious.

But then she was just as disgusted as she was when it was near her mouth.

Poor Nora. What a rough meal.

“Jonah saw three school buses at park outside in parking lot!! Yup!!!”

After we got home, he promptly started singing a very exciting song on the ukulele about the school buses at the park. “I like that song!” he said.

And for extra fun, check out what Jonah was doing one year ago.

Feeding Himself

Ever since he started feeding his animals, Jonah’s gotten a renewed interest in trying to feed himself with a spoon. During his morning applesauce snack today, he signed ‘help’ ‘applesauce’, so I gave him the spoon and he took over.

Fun With Cheerios

Sometimes Jonah thinks it’s really funny if his Cheerios are arranged in a special way on his tray. This morning, he cracked up at a stack of Cheerios and started waving at them, so I quickly grabbed the video camera. Well, of course, he didn’t do that again, but it’s still pretty fun to watch. You can see his wonderful self-feeding skills, and he’ll even show off his power fist and happy scream.
