Discovering Oatmeal

So for the past week Tyler has been waking up every 2 hours and crying throughout the night. We are not sure why, but we hypothesized that it was because he was hungry and not satisfied by my breastmilk to sustain him through the entire night (since he's such a big boy and now in size 2-3 diapers!). Since he has pretty good head control and is incredibly strong, we decided to sit him in his high chair for the first time. We also thought we might try giving him a small amount of oatmeal before he goes to bed to see if this helps him sleep more soundly through the night. Here are a few pictures of us feeding him his first oatmeal, as well as his first time sitting up in his high chair. We were so excited and had so much fun with it. We hope it helps...stay tuned!


As I am sure you can imagine, there was more on Ty than I think got into his mouth. He was really enjoying himself though!



Loving his high chair and the new tastes and textures!

Mmmm...thanks mommy!

I think my hand tastes better than this bland, soupy stuff!
