1st and Last (for awhile) Cereal!

So in the past few weeks we've had quite the regression with Zane's sleeping at night. He was the typical newborn getting up every couple hours or more...then slowly progressed into sleeping through the night by 10 weeks! Oh how elated we were! Well, it was short lived. He started to wake up once a night and then sometimes twice to now we are back at almost every 2 hours!! UGH! We are so frustrated! Anyway, I was talking to a nurse at work about it and she said to try giving him cereal before bed as it should fill him up enough to sleep longer at night, maybe even through the night again. Josh and I had awhile back decided we weren't going to do cereal until 5.5 months or closer to 6, but with the lack of sleep upon on us, we decided we'd be willing to try just about anything. SO...Friday night was our first attempt. He did "ok", but wasn't thrilled with the cereal process. I don't think he really got any of it down the hatch and to top it off, he slept worse than the previous nights. So I thought it was a fluke and tried it again last night and if you can believe it...it was even worse than the previous night. To say the least we are going to go back to our original plan and wait until closer to 6 mos to try it again and just deal with the nightly feedings! Here are a few pictures of his first cereal adventure though!
