I like to use the excuse "Oh, I'm a first time mom." One night at the Jones, Rachel was holding Kylie so I could feed her some rice cereal. Kylie and mom were just getting used to the idea of her eating solids. Rachel held Kylie while I attempted to feed her. As I went in I managed to fling cereal in her eye following with cereal up her nose in a matter of seconds. It seemed the only place I was having trouble getting food into was her mouth. Of course, I used the excuse, "Oh, I'm a first time mom."
I have been reading about introducing babies to new foods. They recomm
end allowing the child to discover new textures and tastes by giving them there independence and allowing them to touch and feel there food. So, I tried it. I'm a first time mom, right. I could give it a try. Kylie was in heaven and it became a food fight in the kitchen with splats of green beans all over the floor and cabinets. It was a total mess and for some odd reason I felt like a good mom. I had allowed my child to discover what she had yet never discovered before. However, now we are trying to re-teach her not to use her hands when eating and food fights are only on occasion. What am I teaching her? "Oh, I'm a first time mom."

When I first started feeding Kylie rice cereal it was difficult to keep it all in. Sometimes it felt as if she was wearing more than she was eating. Kylie quickly learned that her bib has a gold mine of food just waiting for her if she wanted more. All she did was lean over and lick her bib as if she was at an all you can eat buffet. "Oh, I'm a first time mom"...and I love it!

Love it love it love it! I also am wondering about Dave in his "Super SCOUTER" shirt. Go DAVE!
You are a great mom and we all learn as we go, that is what is so great about it!
Kylie is quite the poser for the camera!
Isn't that fun? I love the baby stage although it is very messy. It's so fun to watch their little personalities develop! Kylie is a doll!
You brave brave soul!!! I wish I could say I let my kids do that. How fun to have that video to look back on. She's a doll.

So great! I love using the "First time mom" excuse, but I don't know what I'm going to do when I'm no longer a "First time mom!" She is so great and what a CUTE little mess!
She is so stinkin' cute, Kierst! She looks like a DOLL- she's too beautiful! You are SUCH a fabulous "First Time Mom"! Kylie's a lucky girl!
