Operation Spoon Feeding

Tonight was the first day of Operation Spoon Feeding. Mia is growing increasingly hungry and formula just isn't cutting it. So, her mother and I decided to experiment with spoon feeding her a bit of rice cereal. Results of this first attempt? Massive Failure. I'm not sure what exactly Amelia thought the function of the spoon was, but in no way did it occur to her that this was something she should eat. She focused so hard on it that she kept going cross-eyed. Then, as quickly as we could put the spoon in her mouth, she began spitting out cereal. If I had to guess, I'd say we got a total of 3 mashed up grains of rice swallowed. The other 99.9% were all over her chin, bib, and clothes. There was one silver lining to all of this. She did seem to enjoy herself during this trial run. So, hey, at least we have that going for us. We will carry that momentum into Phase II of the experiment and try to give her a taste of peas. Wish us luck!
