First Cereal

We tried giving Rylan some rice cereal today for the first time. I managed to get about 2 spoonfuls into his mouth and I think at least half of each stayed in. Rylan was not a big fan though and made lots of funny and unhappy faces. When attempting the third spoonful, Rylan started crying and so I decided to just try again tomorrow or Monday.

"I have no idea what I'm about to try."


"What's this?"


"I don't think I like this."


"I know I don't like this!"


"No more, no more!"


I think we're going to have to figure out how to put Rylan in Carter's booster seat or put him in a stroller to feed him solids because the Bumbo chair is definitely too small for his massive thighs!

I've been keeping Rylan's nails trimmed, but as you can see in the photos, he's been scratching up his face a lot lately. It's been mainly happening at night when he wakes up screaming and swinging his arms around.

Rylan's still on his sleep strike. The longest he slept last night was when I fell asleep feeding him and woke up 1 1/2 hours later holding him in my arms. I totally gave up at 4 am and just got up with him this morning. I finally got him back to sleep around 6 am but then Carter got up.

I got Rylan down around 8 pm and he just woke up a few minutes ago screaming. Brian is rocking him right now trying to get him back to sleep.
