Tasty

Well my little boy is quite the man for waterworks...by waterworks I don't mean crying, or even peeing, he has this incredible talent of spitting up, and by spitting up I don't mean just a little dabble on your shoulder, I mean a fountain down the front of your shirt onto your pants with enough to spare to end up on the carpet. I have started to think that instead of making sure I pack him an extra change of clothes maybe I need to pack myself some.

Thus in the spirit of research I have found many things that suggest rice cereal, mostly if you put it in the the bottle with formula, but since he doesn't drink formula and he was close to 4 months I thought maybe just a tad from a bowl would help.

I have promised from day one that Thomas would be able to give the first tasting of any food for our son. This in hopes that I would stop catching him giving our infant tastes of cheetos, lemonade, icecream, lollipops, and who knows what else that I haven't caught him in the act of tasting. (Maybe that's the source of Rainier's problems.)

Thus the tasting of rice cereal began.


With a very attentive audience.

But a not so intent baby....playing with Dad is much more fun.

And the sweet little guy still spit-up and hasn't had a taste of rice cereal since.

Hey Owen has the same problem. Keep the tips coming. Owen has the spit up acid reflux medicine but he still spits up all over. At least you change you spit up clothes. I usually just wear them and look like a slob.

maybe he has reflux?

Just to clear my name as a responsible parent...he does have reflux and is on medicine for it, but still spits up a ton, the medicine just makes it so it doesn't hurt when he spits up, there's not much more I can do...I don't mind really, he's worth it. :)

He is a cute little guy in very cute pajamas! Too bad the cereal didn't work!

Man, that's a tough break. Spit up can be such a drag to wash out of clothes and stinky too.
P.S.
You have an owl too and yours has a cute saying, I am jealous!!!
