mmm… rice cereal

So the pediatrician said when Riley stops sleeping through the night, it’s time to start the rice cereal. Well, that time has finally come. We bought some special rubber tipped spoons and mixed up some cereal with warm milk and got Riley in a good eating position… then proceeded to get cereal pretty much everywhere but in her stomach. well maybe she swallowed a little bit. But mostly she either inhalded it (there was a lot of protracted couging and choking, oopsie) or blew it off the spoon or just let it dribble down her chin into the many folds of her neck. Luckily my father had the bright suggestion to just put it in a bottle and make the bottle nipple bigger. After a few tries we found the right size, and now Riley will get a bottle of rice cereal milk everynight before bed. fun fun.
