Feed me

Here is Caleb in his big boy high chair, eagerly awaiting his first meal of rice cereal. Hubby and I were anticipating his 4-month birthday so that we could try feeding Caleb some big boy food. I realize it barely counts as food, but it is fun to use the spoon and bowl and watch Caleb make a mess.

And here comes the spoon full of goodies!

Caleb opens up without much pressure from us, takes a bite, and lets the rice cereal sit in his mouth for a bit before choosing to either swallow or shove the food out with his tongue.

This was a shove food out with the tongue shot.

Yet he seems to like it. He just needs to get the hang of it.

We've been at it for 6 days now and he is probably swallowing about half of a serving.

But he sure does enjoy the act of eating like a big boy!
