Rice Cereal

Dear O,
A few days ago you had your first taste of rice cereal. So far, we have only tried it a couple of times and you like it! There is a big debate in the parenting community about when to introduce solid foods and people feel very strongly about it. Our pediatrician recommended starting with some rice cereal about four months and see how it progresses from there. We aren't really in any hurry to push it on you, but you actually seem to be hungry for it. You already eat 4 bottles of 8oz a day and always want more! So your Daddy and I decided you might be ready for a little experimentation in the food department. I really have mixed feelings about the whole thing. On one hand, I am excited for you to to try new things and to begin to learn how to eat. But on the other hand, you are growing up way too quickly and I want my little boy to stay a baby. I guess that will be my dilemma for the rest of my life!
I love you son,
Mom
