First rice cereal feeding


Look at this face! We gave him rice cereal for the first time last night and he was crazy. He acted like he was going to spit it all out and then he would gobble it down. I think mommy and daddy had more fun than Tyler did.
IF only we had a camcorder recording it all because as soon as we thought he was done he threw it all up. Let me tell you why this didn't really shock us very much.
Last friday Tyler had his four month appointment and he got his shots. One of the reactions to one of the vaccinations is diarrhea, so last weekend thats what we dealt with. Well throughout this week he still was not feeling very well and on Wednesday night Karl noticed white bumps on his gums. Definitely not teething, but my work the next day got nervous because they thought it was hand foot and mouth disease. I call the dr office and the first time they said it was harmless then they called back and said it was not harmless and to bring him in if the bumps spread, well they did. I called and got an appointment for Friday morning. On my way home on Thursday the nurse called back again and said that in fact they were harmless but I could still bring him in if I wanted to. Well in order to make my co-workers feel at ease I said I would still bring him in. I went in with little man and got a note saying that it was not contagious and off to work I went. Before we left for his appointment Tyler had a watery bowel movement (BM) and I warned my work that I might have to take the day off. I went into work and Tyler had another bad BM and he stopped eating. So we went home and its more of the same. The dr said to try to give him some rice cereal, because it could help with the BM's. Sorry if this is too much for y'all but I knew the momma's in the world would understand.
