Cereal anyone??

Today mummy finally decided to give me my first taste of cereal (Healthy Times Brown rice cereal). Have waited a LOOOONG time.. and after much procrastinating on mummy's part + urging on papa's part, I finally got to eat something else other than milk at 5 mths 1 wk old!! Mummy was feeling guilty about not waiting till I am 6 mths before giving me my cereal, but gave in in the end cos I was showing all the signs of readiness for weaning (extreme interest in what papa/mummy are eating, decreased milk intake, ability to sit with minimal support).

anyway, the cereal was YUMMYYYY!!!! couldnt wait for mummy to scoop up the cereal and shovel it in.. so I decided to yell when she was slow!! Mummy was very scared that I would gag cos i kept lunging at the spoon and taking hold of the entire spoon. however, mummy gave me only 5-6 small spoons cos it is my 1st time eating cereal.. where got enough?? Of course, I showed my displeasure by screaming even louder when it finished.. hehe :P mummy was most pleased to see that I didnt push the food out with my tongue.. another sign that she didnt start me on cereal too early.

plan is to continue me on cereal till I am 6 mths old, then slowly intro vegs and fruits.

Here are some pics of me enjoying my FOOOOD...



Muummm mummmm....



YUMMY!!
