eating cardboard

Oh, man... William had his first solid food today!!! Yea!!! It was rice cereal. BUT... he HATED it. It literally tasted like runny cardboard. And he looked like he was eating runny cardboard. His face looked as if we just gave him lemons, and he kept gagging. Of course, he didn't really know how to eat either. He kept sticking his tongue out to try to suck (since that's the only thing he's done since birth), so he had a hard time keeping the food in his mouth. We only tortured him with a few bites. That was about all he could stand. We thought it was a good idea to stop when he started shrieking and making fists. But we'll be trying again tomorrow... and the next day... and the day after that... etc. =) Enjoy the pics and get ready to laugh. I hate to say it, but he had me cracking up the whole time. I haven't laughed like that in a while. (He knows his momma loves him.)

"Getting settled in my high chair... I like it!"

"Got my bib on... Oouu... What's that stuff in momma's hand?"

"Yuck! What is this stuff?"

"What in the world?!"

(As if he hadn't had enough yet...)

"Make it stop!!!!"

(The last straw...)

"UGH!!!"
