apple and sweet potato cereal

we gave baby jude his first taste of "real" food on sunday. after his four month check up (at four and a half months old) last week, jude's doctor thought starting him on baby food would be a good idea to help him pack on the pounds since he's only in the third percentile for his weight. she also thought it might help with his acid reflux a little too. personally, i think jude might just be naturally little ... i too, as a baby, had a hard time getting all round with those cute pudgy rolls around the knees. our doctor agrees, it's most likely genetics. for us, however, anything that could possibly help with his acid reflux is worth trying. anyhow, we were super excited to give it a try. we decided on an organic apple and sweet potato baby cereal which he absolutely LOVED ... and knew making a huge mess to show his appreciation was just the way to thank us as the mass amount of photos below will show. p.s. i've officially become one of those moms who takes too many photos of her child and shares them far too often with anyone who will dare look. i've also become one of those people who puts an ellipsis before, in between, and after every sentence she writes ... 'nough said.
