NAM + Rice Cereal = Grossness!

We started the kids on rice cereal during their lunches. I can't seem to get it together early enough for breakfast, and we're usually both exhausted by dinner. They only take about a tablespoon or two anyway so for now I think that's good enough. Lily has taken to spoon eating really well. It's a lot harder with Jake. You kind of just have to tip the food in his mouth and hope some of it stays in long enough for him to eat it.  He doesn't have a top lip to squeegee the food off the spoon, and he's also not used to keeping his mouth closed. So the rice cereal goes everywhere! He waves his arms around the whole time, often bumping the spoon so I spill cereal on his legs, constantly tries to lift the bib over his face, and shoves his fingers in his mouth while it's still full of rice goo. Eeeew! But he definitely likes it. The translucent cereal doesn't show up in the picture very well, but he's covered!
