yes, i would love some!

Today was a big day for the Barton's!! Jeff, Roman, Maverick and I all woke up this morning knowing things were about to change. Okay, well roman and maverick probably had no clue, but Jeff and i did. 

We woke up about 7:30am and ate some breakfast! Roman had is very first bowl of oatmeal this morning and kind of loved it! We sat him in his high chair and let him play around in that while i got it ready. he does this new thing where he loves to hit everything (okay, he's been doing for a week or so now, but still new-ish). he just slams his hand on anything and everything. so he did that for a couple minutes while i prepared his breakfast. And Jeff got the camera ready and gave roman a little pep-talk about what was about to go down. 

I decided to use Earth's Best, primarily cause it was certified organic and no gei's and made with whole grains; but also because it was less expensive than the Gerber brand by, i think, almost 50 cents! (which i found kind of odd).

So i mixed (with some milk i had pumped right before) according to the package's directions and here is what it looked like:

looks delicious

At first, Roman just thought he was going to be able to play around with his spoon. LITTLE DID HE KNOW there was delicious goodness on the end of it! He gave kind of a funny look with the first bite. A look to suit this thought, "ugh! what the heck!" but soon after he was leaning forward with his mouth open wanting more. It was a great time! 

All in all it was a pretty victorious morning! We survived Romans first 'solids' experience with no spit-back-outs, throw ups, or crying. We only had a chance to do breakfast today. I'm not 100% clear on how often to feed him per day yet. But tomorrow he will get oatmeal for breakfast again!
