CEREAL!!!

Dr. Henschel gave us the green light for cereal. After lots of talking we decided to give it a try.
Austin was excited about his bib:)
Ready for Breakfast
First Bite
What is this??
I will have some more...
What a cutie!
What a big boy!
He was playing with it
He did great with the spoon, not sure he actually swallowed any cereal though
It was a successful and fun experience
The bib tasted GREAT!!
More pictures to come as we continue to try cereal over the next few weeks.

What Austin is up to these days:
He LOVES bath time- I think he would stay in there all day if we let him-
I hope this means he will be a waterbug.
He also tends to poop in the bath- I guess it is relaxing- You know how stressful his life is;)
He is wearing size 3-6 month clothes and size 1 diapers (the 2's are just a little too big)
He LOVES riding in the stroller- he takes his evening nap while Chris and I walk each night
He LOVES his Bumbo- he helps me cook and fold laundry- he is our centerpiece at dinner
The Easter Bunny brought him a jumperoo- he LOVES the piano
He LOVES listening to Mama sing-and many of you know I can not carry a tune:)
He LOVES to look at pictures in books
He sleeps from 8pm to 6:30am (getting up once to eat)
He LOVES to be swaddled at night
He is still Exclusively Breast Fed- usually eating 4 to 5 oz about 7 times a day
He still as BLUE EYES!
He LOVES his feet- he can even suck on his toes:)
Everything goes into his mouth!!
Mommy and Daddy LOVE seeing him smile- it makes each of our days-
He has a sweet little laugh
This is such a fun stage- his personality is really coming out.
