Rice Cereal

Luke, Jameson and I took a road trip to the Twin Cities last Wednesday so we could visit our family doctor Thursday morning.  It was a VERY short/quick trip because we left immediately after the appointment Thursday morning, but it was GREAT to see Dr. Sheehy and get a healthy/happy check-up for both Jameson and I!

Our "little" boy is getting so, so big!  I can't believe a) how fast time is flying (he is ALREADY 3 MONTHS!) and b) how BIG he is getting!!  He weighed in at 16lbs last Thursday morning!!  CRAZY!!! 

Like all new moms, I have only wanted the very best for my little man...  I would do anything to make sure he is always happy and healthy...  With that said, we have been very blessed that he has taken to nursing so quickly and easily (well for the most part).  The only negative to the situation has been since he is such a "healthy" baby, he does not seem to be very satisfied for any length of time after eating. (sorry to all you men reading!)  Luke and I mentioned this to Dr. Sheehy last week and she gave us the "go ahead" to try rice cereal!!  YAY!  I was so excited to hear those words.  I knew he was getting the nutrition from the breast milk, but to give you a little more of an idea of our daily routine, Jameson was eating at least every two hours if not every hour.  (and sometimes he would eat for an hour and half to two hours at a time!)  Needless to say, I was very happy to hear we could start to give him a little more to maybe try to fill him up a bit. 

I tell ya, I am scared to have another child because this little boy is a CHAMP eater!!  He will eat anything I give him!!!  (obviously breast milk, now rice cereal, and he has even taken down formula like it was nothing!)

It's been so fun watching him figure out how to "eat" the cereal and move his tongue in different directions.  He may not be getting all the cereal in his mouth right now, but it sure is entertaining watching him try!
