Connor eating rice porridge and giggling at UM...

...
Connor has been eating "solids" - if you can call mush a solid - for about two weeks now. We started with a sample packet of Heinz rice cereal which we received free from Heinz. We also had a Nestle sample, which seemed sweeter than the Heinz, so I have since purchased a box of Heinz Organic Wheat cereal. This is non-sweetened so it was even better. Connor has also eaten brown rice porridge which I pureed the heck out of, and froze them "plop" method - spooned the porridge onto wax paper and froze them (read this in a book). Connor isn't a big fan of that one, as it's quite bland, so I mix it with apple sauce and he's OK with that. Connor has also tried pureed carrots and avocado - he wasn't that happy with those either.

Here's a video of Connor having some white rice porridge yesterday. He didn't seem to mind it that much. The porridge consistency was thicker but there were still chunks of rice in it, which he wasn't used to.

I decided to try posting the videos to YouTube now, and embed the video into the blog. The quality seems much better.
