a new stage - rice cereal

now that my baby boy is 4 months old, we got the ok from our doctor to start tyler on rice cereal with his formula twice a day. after starting off VERY messy, we finally got the right consistency with the formula and tyler is getting used to the different texture.
for awhile, we were using a specialized bottle that we put the cereal in that was suppose to help with the transition. it ended up being very messy and not really worth the headache... although it did help tyler get used to eating and swallowing. we used a combo of the new bottle with cereal, spoon-feeding, and the regular bottle with the formula.
he's getting the hang of it now and its so cute to watch him eat.
i have pictures in my camera that i will post soon.
