Can't Keep Up with this Feeding Monster

Well, Josiah will being having his first experience with real food today!  We were going to wait until he was six months since that is what our pediatricians suggested. Mommy has had a hard time keeping up with our little feeding monster, so we are going to go ahead and do some rice cereal.  The last few nights before bed he has been nursing for a good 30 minutes and then Daddy has had to give him an extra bottle to top him off.  Lastnight, Josiah ate an extra five and half ounces!  After having some play dates over the weekend, we realized that Josiah is REALLY big for his size!  We hung out with Owen and John on Saturday night.  John is a month older than Josiah and was so tiny compared to Josiah.  Then on Sunday we hung out with Jesse as we watched a football game.  Jesse is two months older than Josiah and again Josiah towered over him.  We feel like it is time for Josiah to start on cereal to help him out and to also help Mommy out with nursing. 

On Thursday, Josiah and I will be going to our first MOPS (Mothers Of Pre-Schoolers) group.  I am really excited to finally connect with other women who are stay at home moms.  This will also be a good opportunity for Josiah to be around other children.  It'll be interesting to see if we can get there on time--Josiah has been sleeping until a little before 9:00 the last few days!



*3:15pm*

Well, Josiah just finished eating his rice cereal, and he LOVED it!  He knew exactly what to do with the spoon.  After eating quite a bit of cereal, he finished his 3 1/2 ounces of milk!  I will be posting some pictures for you to watch his first feeding.
