Wasn't runny. In fact, it was almost ... dough-like.
And this boy not only ate, he finished the more-than-one-tablespoonful of cereals! Doesn't sound like much but as compared to what he had for the past 3 weeks, this was gigantic improvement.
I'm excited because this is the first time he patiently sat thru a meal and because he did not refuse to be fed, I could continue offering him the spoon. And I was pleasantly surprised to find myself scraping the remaining off the side of his bowl after only about 15 minutes.
We both enjoyed his dinner today! AN had been asking if she could feed him. She should get to if he continues to be able to swallow as well the next time.
Today also marks the first day he sat upright without support at all. He sat steadily playing with his toy for about 10 minutes, almost toppling over a few times but he managed to pull himself back.
He will continue to improve.
It's strange how little things like these can excite parents, things that to others, seem only milestones that babies will naturally meet in time to come without any need for fuss or celebration.
But as a parent, I can only be thankful. Because there is always a chance that my children may not be able to naturally meet these milestones. For everything that they are capable of, we thank the Lord.
