On Wednesday Ava had her first rice cereal. We were excited for this day and she has really seemed interesting in watching us eat, so we thought it would be a great moment. Unfortunately we decided to feed her right be before her evening bath and feeding, so she was grumpy and uncooperative. From the moment we put her in the high chair she began to fuss. We didn't give up and hoped the cereal would change her mood, but we were silly. Ava was angry and screamed the entire time. We then took her out of the high chair and I tried to feed her on my lap which just further enraged her. At this point we decided to throw in the towel and give her a bath and formula.
But....while she was in the bath her mood changed and I had a sneaky idea. I decided to try feeding her in the bath. As soon as she saw the spoon she started to scream. I still put the spoon to her mouth and she began to chew on it. Ava's mood then began to soften and she sort of enjoyed her first rice cereal.

Well you guys will make a good eater out of her yet. Persistence is the key. Ezra now LOVES to eat his cereal. I don't let him have the spoon even when he gets a firm grip because I'm too scared it will end up in his eye.
Do you guys remember coming over to our Condo for Marlee's first feeding? Love seeing Ava-she is such a cutie.
