Rice Cereal!

Yesterday Andy had his first taste of rice cereal! I think it was more fun for me, but Andy seemed to like it too! :)

I bought the Heinz Organic kind because it doesn't have any skim milk powder in it, as Andy is allergic to milk. 

Andy is over 5 months, and will be 6 months old the day after Christmas, so even though we are a little early in introducing food to him, Andy is close enough in age that we thought it was OK. I did check with Andy's pediatrician too, and he said it was OK. 

I was surprised how much of the cereal Andy actually ate - not just put in his mouth and spit right back out. He probably consumed more than a teaspoon, but less than a tablespoon. I know it isn't much, but think of how small his tummy is!
