Baby Food Blues

Mr. W is almost 4 months old!  I have tried to start introducing baby food to him.  It is not going that good! 

I am very frustrated because when my daughter was starting out on baby food, Gerber had rice cereal in baby food jars.  She would eat those, but she would not eat the rice cereal that you have to mix.

Apparently, Mr. W is going to be the same way!  Only problem is that now they do not seem to make those handy dandy jars of cereal!  What the heck?! 

I did find a pouch of Bananas, Apricots and Brown Rice at Target.  The brand is Ella's.  I gave it to Mr. W, but he was pretty mad at the time, so it didn't go all that well.  I put the pouch in the refrigerator, per the instructions and the next day I tried to feed it to him again.  That time around the food was too cold.  According to the directions on the pouch, you just place the pouch in a cup of hot water.  You are not supposed to put it in the microwave.  I guess I just didn't have it in the cup long enough.  I ended up throwing the rest away (it is only good for 48 hours after opening). 

Yesterday, I tried mixing the powdered rice cereal per the instructions and then added banana baby food to it.  That didn't go all that well either.  I ended up with some in my eye!  Mr. W decided to spit it out and it went flying every where!  Eww! 

I guess I am just trying to rush him into eating food.  Don't get me wrong, I don't want him to grow up fast on me, but I do wish I could get him to eat.  I know it just takes time. 

Patience, patience, patience. 

That is something I will have to work on. 

So, Mr. W and I will just have to get used to the baby food thing together!  :)
