In honor of turning 5 months old Zach got to try rice cereal for the first time. We let Zach suck on one of his spoons in order to help prepare himself for this "momentous occasion" while I made up the cereal.
Having your first taste of semi-solid food on a spoon can be a bit confusing.
True to form, Zach eats as much rice cereal as we give him. I think he'd eat anything we gave him. At first Zach's tongue just pushed the food back out as he tried to eat it unless we kept the spoon in his mouth until he swallowed. Zach is needing less and less help as he's getting practice.
Other fun things with Zach: he blows spit bubbles, makes more sounds, puts everything in his mouth, shares his impressive amounts of drool with us, pivots on both his back and his front, loves to play standing up (with lots of support), has more hair again, smiles more and laughs. We love our Zach! He is such a wonderful baby and makes us so happy!

Sounds like great fun! Love, Grandma B.
Cute cute boy!
It sounds like he's a good eater.
I'm glad he did so well! Seth still shows no interest in food, so I'm holding off as long as I can. Maybe he'll get some at Christmas! How is nighttime going for you? Is he letting you get more sleep yet?
It was fun to watch Zach eat his rice cereal Monday night. He is such a cute boy and so much fun to play with. Thanks for dinner too! It was fun to come visit you guys and then talk to your parents (my bro) on Skype.
