Eating with spoon!

Okay, the past week and half my sweet little boy has been not sleeping though the night. In fact I have had to feed him in the middle of the night several times. After much deliberation we decided to try introducing him to solid foods. Baby rice cereal is the recommended first step. So we bought some, and some baby spoons.
The result was surprising...he actually ate from the spoon on the first go around and grunted for more.
I guess he is ready, I was kind of expecting him to not understand what to do and have to try again, but not Nathan! He is already growing up so fast!

James held him and his arms, he kept trying to grab the bowl or the spoon from my hand. We fed him last night in what would have been his last feeding before going to sleep. Then I nursed him - which he was out within minutes - highly unusual and didn't even wake when I accidentally kicked the door stepping over the dogs waiting outside.

I would love to report that he didn't waken until this morning, but alas we still had another nursing session at midnight. But I know this is a step in the right direction. Baby food here we come!
