Introducing Cereal
Christopher seemed to love rice cereal on his first attempt. I waited until Saturday evening (4/15) at about 7:00 pm when Richard was visiting. He literally lunged forward to get the spoon in his mouth! We tried again on Sunday at about 3:30 or 4:00 pm and he had a complete opposite reaction. He didn't seem to want anything to do with it, so I didn't push it. When I tried for the 3rd day (Monday), I waited until about 7:00 pm like the first try. Once again, he seemed to love it! However, this time he was trying the HELP me with spoon! LOL! I thought that wasn't supposed to happen until he got older! It's funny...even though we're using the spoon, he doesn't quite grasp the concept of how it works. Instead of letting the spoon go into his mouth, he tries to lift his tongue up so the spoon would go under. It's quite funny!
Converting to the Crib
This didn't go over as well. He went to sleep just fine...that was the easy part. When he woke up at about 4:00, though, I didn't hear him until he was crying really hard. We're not willing to sleep with the baby monitor since it has a lot of static, so I'm just going to wait until Christopher's consistently sleeping through the night before I try again. The bassinet will hold up to 25 lbs, so we should be able to wait a little while longer.
