Last night, Ava and Izzy tried rice cereal for the first time. I'm not sure what I was anticipating, but the outcome was unforgettable! At first, Ava was too hungry to enjoy the cereal. I tried putting it her mouth and she just let it slide right out as she cried for her bottle. So, Cory took her away from the table and she got what she wanted... her bottle. Izzy on the other hand was all over it (just as we suspected). She enjoyed every bite/slurp/suck, with the look on her face as if she were thinking, "Why would my mom feed me with this hard plastic thing and let food drizzle all down my face?" When she was finished, I'm not sure if more cereal made it into her mouth, or on her body, but I'm going to count it as a success!
After Ava finished her bottle, Cory gave the rice cereal another try. Low and behold, she liked it! She too ate it with a funny look on her face. Ava is one who likes to try to hold her own bottle and likes to play games while she eats. Sure enough, she tried the same shenanigans while daddy was feeding her the rice cereal. She tried very hard to grab the spoon to feed herself, which made the feeding quite entertaining for Izzy and I to watch! After it was all said and done, we had two, happy, messy babies.
Feeding time could take a bit longer from now on...especially with Ava trying to do it herself! How cute! They are growing up so fast...
