This Little Piggy...



I was just wondering whether to start Brendan on rice cereal or not since he's only 11 weeks but hear there are some that DO start feeding rice cereals to babies under 4months if they seem ready. Like this guy,Making this eating motion with his mouthwhether in his sleep or awakeand is above the norm in ounces for his age in months- norm os around 4 ounces where he downs 6 ounces no problem! We consulted Gerber and they said the baby should be twice his/her birth weight{which he has surpassed that from 6pounds to a chubby 13 and a half} and be able to consume 32 ounces in a 24 hour period.{which he does that no problem the slob! LOL sitting he downs 6ounces no problem-done-sometimes 4-but think that's covered-I'm constantly making formula for this guy! } So this morning we started off trying some rice cereal -and he loved it- which we ate mighty hungrily I might add! I actually made too much because it came out too thin so I added a little more cereal to thicken it up , But he ate the whole bowl anyway PLUS 3 oz of formula to wash it down !Just for breakfast and dinner and every four hours takes 6 ounces of formula. So hes a bit of a piggy but a healthy 13 pound piggy! Afterwards he had a nice powernap on a full belly of course then when he woke up he played a little in this walker we picked up which is a little premature, but these two looked so cute playing together, I had to take a shot and post it! Heres my piggy and Thomas giving Brendan a ride..
