First Food



We made rice cereal last night. After a week of having a cold, I wasn't doing as well as sometimes on the milk production. Too, Mowgli has been watching us eat with great fascination for a month now. He would watch our spoons and make little mouthy faces. By his reckoning, if not quite the pediatrician's, he was ready to give this food thing a try.

He seemed to have a good time. His father did a round of feeding while I finished eating and that seemed to go best. I'd take a bite from my bowl of lentil pilaf, the baby watching attentively. Then Daddy would offer a spoonful of organic rice cereal and it would mostly end up on the inside.

Unfortunately, and contrary to much family opinion and lore, he didn't sleep any earlier or better for it.
