This is a serious milk mustache!

Well after Bennetts 4month check up and his great size the Dr said that she felt comfortable with Bennett having a bit of cereal. We read the instructions on the rice cereal box and mixed 1Tbls with 4Tbls of formula, it wasn't very thick but I think that's how it's supposed to be. We can't tell if he just didn't like he way it tasted or just was confused by the spoon that was coming towards him. Either way I don't think that he ate very much of it so we just mixed the rest of it in with his bottle. He drank that so he must not mind the way that it tastes! Though he still didn't sleep through the night with the cereal in his belly he is sleeping a lot better. About once a week (or less) he will sleep from around 9 or 10 until 4am so that's pretty good. On saturday (yesterday, today is Sunday May 15th) Bennett got cereal in most of his bottles all day so he did sleep a lot more during the day than usuall. Our goal is not to put him to sleep all the time! But just during the middle of the night that would be great :)
