Trying Rice Cereal

Mason was about 4.5 months when we first tried rice cereal. 

It went pretty good! He played with it and pushed it out as babies normally do, but it was a success. 

I wanted the photo op of Addison feeding him for the first time, she did not want to do it. At all. We had to make her. Haha! Her mouth is wide open as she is making an "ahhhh" noise in an upset tone. 

But she would pose for a photo :) After a few times with cereal, he started to stick his tongue out and tried to "lap up" the cereal like a cat. I just made the cereal thick and let him lick if off the spoon. The old wives tale is that he would sleep better after we started cereal. There was zero difference in his sleeping. Or Addison's when we did it with her. Ha! 

Ryan and Addison were out in the garage. Mason and I went out and found Addison buckled in the driver's seat. Apparently she did it all by herself. I've been a stickler for never letting her play in the cars (for fear she would lock herself in) or ride in the car not in her car seat (for fear she would taste freedom and then fight us)...... But apparently she still knew how to buckle herself in the seat. My dad had recently given Makena a driving lesson so Addison thought she was ready too! 

Mason at 22 weeks. I'm too lazy to figure out how to turn the photo....I apparently uploaded it going the wrong way. Oh well. Ha!
