First Taste Of Cereal

So we hadn't planned on giving Evan cereal for probably another month or so.  However, he has been sleeping terribly lately.  I'm talking waking up 3 hours after he goes down, to drink a bottle, and then 4 hours after that to have another bottle.  The downside with the 2nd waking is that he is then ready to be up for the day.  :( 

A couple weeks ago, I took Evan to the dr. because he was hardly eating at all (like 2 oz. a bottle).  Dr. G upped his zantac dose to see if that would help.  Apparently, it helped a ton because now we can't feed this boy enough!  He's now almost always chugging 5 oz at a time. 

So even though we hadn't planned on giving him cereal this early, Shawn and I are just about willing to try anything to get this boy full and sleeping better.  So last night we tried giving him some oatmeal for the first time.  We watered it down a ton with formula.  He really didn't know what to think of it and most of it ended up back on his bib.  At least we tried.  And no, he didn't sleep any better last night.  :(
