cereal?! that's no cinnamon toast crunch!

we finally fed talan cereal for the first time on monday nite. i think i did the same thing with hayden. i waited around until i had people here to help with video and pictures. i'm a freak like that. so the poor kids don't get to eat food until there is a whole staff of people here. our friend tina came over for monday nite catan and i made her take video. you'd think that i'd never done this before. and i felt like i never had. i chose probably the worst time to try this. talan was exhausted as it was nearing bedtime and he was hungry. but instead of giving him a bottle first, we tried the cereal first. that didn't go so well. so we stopped and gave him some of his bottle. he eventually started eating it without screaming but he really just wanted to go to bed. anyway. now that all the photography work is out of the way, poor talan can just eat his cereal like every other normal baby.

he doesn't hate it, he just hates his parents for doing it the wrong way:
this is the real "stands with a fist" just look at all of the pictures:
ahhh, the bottle. and he's about to fall asleep:
ok. now maybe we'll try again:
still not that happy about it:
it's almost over, right?:
most of this mess was made because he was screaming while dave was shoveling the cereal in:
the cereal was gone, so dave could finally make him laugh again:
