Yep...it's true! I tried rice cereal with Brody twice and both times...he HATED it! He closes his mouth tight so that I can't put the spoon in and when I finally sneak some in there, he GAGS! That boy is so different from Hudson it just amazes me! Lately, an attitude like no other has been leeking out of him! If he gets frustrated about something or if he needs something you definitely know it! But then when he's happy...he's sooo happy! So strange how different your kids can be.
Right now he is asleep in his crib in his own room for the first time. We have been doing naps in there all week which has seemed to work out better because big brother cannot wake him up as easy. My house is all hardwood so you can still here a lot...but it really helped. We took down the co-sleeper tonight and I have to say it was a bittersweet moment. I will finally get to crawl out of my bed like a normal person but...my baby wont be right next to me and it's going to feel sooo weird. I'm not expecting it to last long at all because he is so used to me being right there. But I thought we would start getting into the habit of nursing in his room and putting him down there. It's a big step...but I'm ready (I think).
I guess that's all to report for now. Open to suggestions on the cereal thing. I will keep trying it and maybe will mix some baby applesauce with it and break a rule or two :0) Who knows!

It IS weird how two kids from the exact same family can be so very different. I'm realizing this with my girls right now! They each have a mind of their own!
Aw, I hope that Brody (and mommy!) adjust to him being in his room soon. It is hard when you finally make that step but it will all seem normal soon!
As for the rice cereal, I heard that it sometimes takes babies up to 15 times to actually like new foods because their tastes change (Or something like that). Don't give up and just keep trying. You don't have to shove food down his throat but at least be consistent! GOOD LUCK!!
