Let the fun begin, Drake started solid food last night. I really was trying to wait until 6 month before we started this at the recommendation of our doctor, but Drake has started to reach for everything we are eating and drinking and actually would get a little mad when we wouldn't give it to him.

At his 4 month appointment, his doctor said that if he was doing everything he could to get at the food we were eating then we could go ahead and start him on cereal before 6 months. So, at 5 1/2 months, it was time to start this adventure.
I have learned that there are many varieties of cereal, I decided to go with the multi-grain and I bought the brand that had the fewest ingredients. I have also learned that I really am not sure what our "desired consistency" is when it comes to cereal. I think I made it a little too thin last night but will try again tonight.
It was amazing how excited Drake got when he was sitting in his highchair and I was mixing the cereal. It was like he know what was going on and was ready to eat. Again, I guess that just shows how ready he was. We are going to just stick with the cereal until after his doctor's appointment on August 10th. After that, the world of food will open up to him!
