What a Big Boy!

Since Aidyn is eating cereal now (by spoon), we decided it was time to get a highchair. He is still eating cereal in his bottles to help with his reflux, but we have started the spoon feeding so that we can start introducing other solids as well.

Sunday, after our Father's Day dinner, my parents left and forgot my mom's cell phone at our house. So after our Sunday afternoon naps, we took mom her phone and ran by BabysRus. We tried to get the most "gender-neutral" chair they had. There was a wooden one we really liked, but it was $150. All of the others ones were about $100 or less. We had a giftcard for $50 as well.

We ended up getting a lime green/grey one. It came down to it or an orange one. I told Ben that if we would've had a girl first...I would NOT have bought a girly highchair. If so, then if we ever had a boy, he would just have to sit in it because buying another highchair would be stupid. He definately agreed. So instead of buying a more masculine looking chair, we tried to find a general one that would work either way.

Aidyn loves his new highchair! Everytime he eats his ceral, he now eats from his chair instead of in his swing which is what we had been using for his avocado and ceral at first.

According to Babywise, the goal is to get Aidyn to eat 1/4 cup of cereal 3 times a day. Right now, I am mixing 2-3 teaspoons of cereal with a little water. He doesn't eat it all, but we're working on it. This morning he woke up at 7am to eat. He gets a bottle in the early morning, no cereal. But this means he will get a bottle and cereal at 10am, 1pm, 4pm, and 7pm. At his night feeding, at 10pm, he will only eat a bottle after his bath.
