Big Boy Food

So last week we started eating cereal from a spoon.  We have been giving him cereal in his bottle since he was about 3 months old because I felt like he needed more.  Plus it helped him sleep through the night!!  A few nights before we started cereal I was putting him in his highchair to get used to sitting in it.  I give him spoons to play with but they usually end up in the floor.  I mixed a few tablespoons of cereal with some of my breastmilk.  He did pretty well for his first time and he seems to enjoy getting messy.  He mostly wanted to just put his hands in his mouth but he finally got the hint that if he took them out of his mouth, he got more food.  I fixed him cereal every night and made it thicker every night.  We got him a sippy cup for Easter so we put water in it and give that to him when he eats.  After, I either give him the bottle or nurse him to top him off.  Next week we are starting bananas!
