Hey Mom, what's for dinner?!

Gavin reached a new milestone today!  Four months is usually the time to start rice cereal and with Gavin's 4 month birthday fast approaching, we knew we would be starting it soon.  But since he's SO smart and advanced, we thought we start him on it early- even by just one whole day :). 

What I didn't know is that first time baby rice cereal, is pretty much like milk with just a few rice floaties in it, so he pretty much just has to slurp it off the spoon. 

Gavin donned his "My dad is cooler than your dad" bib for the occassion.   I gave Matthew this bib last year for Father's day- he just let's Gavin wear it. 

I must say, the GavMeister did a pretty good job for his first time!  Check out his very first bite from a spoon ever!   

Success!  If by success I mean that half of it came out of his mouth and onto his bib.  But that's okay.  He seemed quite intrigued by the spoon.  In fact, had the spoon been a lollipop, this kid would have been in business.  He was rocking out the spoon suck. 

Look how cute he is!  And what a polite little boy- he even wiped his mouth off when he was finished. 

He ate about half his cereal and then finally got tired of it, so we put the rest in the bottle and he chugged it down old school style.  Not bad for his first try, eh?  Then we took his bib half way off and he played "Pharoah" with his daddy for a few minutes. 

We're so proud of our little boy.  It's a fun place to be when you get this overjoyed by the little things in life.
