CEREAL!!!

As many of you know (since I've been whining about it for a while), Gavin has not been taking very good naps during the day since he started sleeping 10 to 12 hours at night. I've tried all sorts of combinations of sleep/awake times to try and figure out his new schedule, to no avail. Finally, on December 3rd Jason and I thought that maybe he wasn't sleeping good during the day because he was hungry and needed more than just formula. Thus enters the CEREAL!! (Plus at our 4 month doctor's appointment our pediatrician said we could start feeding Gavin cereal if we wanted. I haven't wanted to give him cereal because I've got the notion stuck in my head, from when my siblings were little, that you don't start cereal until 6 months, but if the kid's starving...you do what you gotta do). On December 3rd, I waited until evening to give Gavin cereal so Jason could be there for the first time. What a hilarious experience. If any of you experienced parents out there had been watching us try to feed him you would have been ROLLING WITH LAUGHTER! I don't know who made the bigger mess, us (trying to figure out how to feed him) or Gavin (trying to figure out how to eat it)! I was surprised that Gavin actually seemed to like it and was such a good boy trying to eat it.
