At first she didn't like it, like everything she tastes that isn't milk. But, then she got really excited about the spoon. Sometimes she gets too excited and knocks the spoon right out of my hand. That is how she ends up with rice cereal hair. 
Ultimately, it is good for her to practice eating something a little more solid and using a spoon. Then, when she is six months, we will try her on foods that are a little more flavourful than rice cereal, which I hear is really bland though I have not tasted it. Eating time is definitely a challenge because she is always wanting to grab the spoon and sometimes refuses to open her mouth. I think this time when she is nursing will be the easiest mealtimes that I will ever have with her. I should enjoy it while it lasts.

She looks excited. ;) It must be fun to go through the different stages.
This is a fun stage, though more difficult to get through feedings. I would also recommend giving her snacks like Puffs (after 6 months, though), and let her practice getting the food to her mouth on her own. That will make the transition to table foods all that much easier (which Alexis did between 8-10 months).
What a big girl!
Cereal is messy but fun. It also fills her tummy and night so that she can sleep a little longer. Rice cereal is a good one to start with. My sweet little granddaughter is growing up.
Cereal head.
This is going to be us in a few weeks! Crazy. I can't believe our kiddos are already this old. It has flown for me.
Don't forget to facebook me your email. I think I know it but I need confirmation!
I'm so glad I now have the link to your blog. I have it written down somewhere, but you know how that goes! Nicole is such a doll. I'm surprised she will even eat the rice cereal after being introduced to ice cream. I wouldn't! I can also relate to cakes with "sweet spirits." I've made lots like that. I'll come back and visit often. So fun to catch up with you. Thanks for coming by to visit.
