Isaac had his 4 month checkup today and the Dr. said that he was big enough to start eating solid foods. I went to Jewel and got a box of each kind of cereal since we have to use each kind for 3 days each before moving on to other foods. We started with the rice cereal and mixed it up with some formula.As you can see, Isaac was not totally into the spoon thing. He didn't really "get" that it was food and that I wasn't really trying to torture the poor kid. He would fuss and cry and his eyes would get really wide when I put the cereal in his mouth. Most of what went in came out again, but I'm told that is pretty normal. He was also a little crabby from getting 4 shots earlier today as well. We get to try it all again tomorrow!

Just keep in mind that the fact that medically he is old enough to eat solids doesn't mean he is emotionally ready. Go easy. Jacob took to solids with no problems, but Julianna was resistant. I kept going anyway, and she ended up very constipated and uncomfortable. Listen to his cues; if he isn't interested, he may want to wait longer. Every baby is an individual; they are not all going to do things at the same time. Hope you don't mind the advice!
