And Then There Was Cole - Solids

So, Cole doesn't really like his solids.

This threw RJ and I since Zoe was a natural. She was like a little bird (except we didn't regurgitate into her mouth)... she'd open wide, eat the spoonful, open wide, repeat. It was a breeze. I used to wonder why other moms would get a huge spoonful and shove it into their babies' mouths. I now know why. The more you shove, the more likely some will go in. Simple maths, really. This solids thing is really messy. It's quite bizarre how something as small as Cole can make such a big mess. Rice cereal on the chair, on the counter, in the nappy, flung across to the living room, I honestly even found some at the front door. I guess Zoe and I had an "understanding" that I have failed to get across to Cole. Mommy doesn't like messes.

I guess he's getting better, I mean, it's been 3 days and he is just a baby. He doesn't gag as though he just ate dog poo anymore. That's obviously a step in the right direction.

Cole. Dude. Open wide, eat the spoonful, open wide, repeat.
