Owen's First Cereal

Our first attempt at giving Owen his first taste of yummy rice cereal was not quite the success we were hoping for! And we've even offered him cereal with applesauce mixed in and out of desperation for him to want to eat straight up applesauce. But no! Our boy is quite stubborn! He purses his lips together and pulls his head away when he realizes we are trying to get him to eat something. We were trying to get him to eat a little cereal at night to help him sleep better thru the night. His pediatrician tells me to keep trying and that he doesn't really need anything until he is 6 months. Owen has also decided that he wants nothing to do with the bottle either:( He was taking it so well, and then just out of the blue, or it could be that his little personality is getting stronger, he purses his lips out and has a fit whenever someone tries to give him a bottle. I think it is his way to make sure he gets good quality time with mommy since I'm so busy with Violet during the day too:)

Violet needed a turn in the bumbo seat too!
