Blake's 4-month mark brought lots of firsts. As I wrote in the last blog, the doctor said as soon as Blake was four months, we could start feeding him rice cereal. Ryan and I didn't waste a moment. On the morning of July 10th, exactly four months since Blake's birthday, we sat him down for a little breakfast consisting of some soupy rice cereal. As you can see, he wasn't so sure about it...
I think he was just as confused by the long metal utensil in Dad's hand as he was about the texture of his new food. And Blake wasn't the only beginner. His mom and dad seemed to have forgotten one important ingredient when it comes to feeding a baby.
Lesson learned. The next day we used a bib.
Eating cereal wasn't the only first for Baby Blake that day. We took him to Folsom Lake and went swimming! Blake loves his baths, so I was pretty confident he'd like the water. Once we took him in, I wouldn't exactly say he liked it. But he didn't hate it either. Of course he had to wear a silly hat and get his clothes wet, so that could have contributed to the funny look on his face. Hey, at least the whole Becker family was wearing silly hats!
Perhaps the one thing Blake was familiar with on his four-month "birthday" was the camera. He's become quite the ham. Here he is, once again, next to Billy Bear. And as you can tell from the familiar pictures below that, he continues to get bigger and bigger. But then again, that's what babies do. All the while Mommies and Daddies sigh at how quickly time flies... when you're having fun.
