Seriously Against Cereal

Lately, Justin has been anxiously watching us as we eat. He stares intently at the fork or spoon of food and smacks his lips, hoping that someday he can steal a bite of whatever culinary masterpiece everyone else seems to enjoy so much.

We thought this indicated he was finally ready for some solid foods. I stirred up some rice cereal, hooked a bib around his neck, and lifted a spoonful toward his eager mouth. This moment was eventful for two reasons. First, Justin got his first solid foods. Second, Justin learned that sometimes the things we are so certain we want.... aren't as great as they appear.
