Rice Cereal

We recently started noticing that Jaxson seemed VERY interested in regular food. He would start loosing interest in his bottle if he noticed someone around him eating, try and put your fingers in his mouth if you had been eating something, or just find other ways to try and get food. We figured that since he is just about four months old, is obviously interested in eating, and was able to sit up in his high chair that it was time to introduce rice cereal.

He did really good with taking the spoon and swallowing, but I don't know if he is too big a fan of how the cereal tastes.


As you can see from this picture, Jaxson was starting to pull nasty faces after it was in his mouth. It was like he wanted to eat it, but just was disgusted by the flavor. I guess I can't blame him. :)

Today when I tried the rice cereal, I tried mixing in a little bit of apple juice. I thought that would definitely improve the flavor for him, but no such luck. Hopefully we can move on to baby food soon and he will like that a little bit better.
