what's new in G-town--TRYING NEW FOOD

At G's 4 month appointment our doctor told us that we could start getting him to try some food. I have a list of stuff that we should start with, and one of the first things on my list was rice cereal. We haven't been rushing the whole food thing, but yesterday we decided to try some, kind of as dessert. We don't yet have a high chair (gotta get one of those), so I tried it while he was sitting in the activity center that cousin Lucy let us borrow. a book I have suggests that you try it and see if the baby spits it out or not. If he spits it out, he's not ready. Well, there was a little confusion, and a kind of bewildered look on his face when I put food in his mouth. Then he kind of let it drool out of his mouth. I guess we'll try next week.
