cereal. dinner of champions.

thanksgiving brought us the beginning of baby rice cereal.  at the time, kaimana did not love it.  now, however, he gobbles it up happily (and vocally.... many "yummy" sounds issuing from his mouth).  the trick, i find, is to make the cereal nice and thick.  at first, we made it pretty runny, thinking this will be more like what he is used to.  but, no, he wanted something to munch on!  it also makes less of a mess as less of it runs out of his mouth.  the mess now comes when he decides to blow raspberries WITH a mouthful of his delicious cereal.  mommy got a faceful the other night : )  we are now trying to decide what next to add to his diet... we're thinking either carrots or sweet potatoes...
