Happy Green Home: Robby's 1st Baby Cereal!

Our sweet Robby turned 4 months old yesterday! Yay! This is been the best 4 months of our lives!

Lately, after five or six 6oz bottles everyday, Robby wasn't seeming satisfied some of the day so I decided as soon as he is 4 months old, I'm going to start him on oatmeal. I know doctors say you can start solids between 4-6 months, with 6 months being the recommended age. However, us mama's know our babies and know what's best! So the day he turned 4 months old, I gave him oatmeal.

I think daddy and mommy were more excited for Robby to try oatmeal than he was, lol!

So since I will be making all of Robby's food, we, of course, had to make a Target and Sprouts (and Starbucks!) run for a grinder and some organic steel cut oats.


Robby's 2nd trip to Target!

When we got back from Starbucks, Target, and Sprouts, I ground up the organic oats in the coffee grinder (works like a charm!) and mixed it with a little formula so it was really soupy. Easy peasy.


Here's daddy and Robby before Robb'y 1st bite.

Ok, here we go... 1st bite of cereal for Robby!

Just look at that cute face!

Haha! At first, Robby wasn't sure what to think! Hence the funny face picture...

But after he tried a few bites, he really started enjoying the oats!


Not sure what to think about that cool spoon!

Overall, I think Robby's first baby cereal experience was a success! We also tried some for breakfast this morning! He made the funny faces at first but quickly adapted to the strange texture and enjoyed about a whole tablespoon!

We all had a lot of fun with this special moment last night and are excited to start trying a vegetable in the next 3 weeks or so!
