Snacking on Joe’s O’s!

Last Saturday, May 31, I finally decided to feed Cheerios to Little Mochi. Actually, I forgot to buy them from Costco since we were there buying drinks (I’ll tell ya, those Costco coupons are dangerous! They make you spend more than you need to spend). So we stopped by Trader Joe’s and bought the Cheerios equivalent – Joe’s O’s. (I know, isn’t that cute?) Apparently, Joe’s O’s got a lot of iron and fiber. Makes a great snack.

Wow. Little Mochi loved them! It’s so strange to see him try to chew them since he still doesn’t have any teeth! Speaking of teeth, I finally see some white on his lower front gums. They’re finally breaking through his gums! At 11 months, he’s finally teething!

Anyhow, the Joe’s O’s are great! Not only are they nutritious, but they keep him busy for a few minutes. They keep him from kicking and screeming, especially when I need to put him back into his car seat as we leave from Grandma’s house.

I guess he’s ready to start chewing on real food huh? It’s so amazing that they even know that they’re supposed to chew! He knows what they are now so when I sees the ziplock bag full of Joe’s O’s, he points to it and starts mumbling something. I give him one (can’t resist because he’s so cute!), then he smiles at me – what a happy kid.

So how do you know your baby is ready for Cheerios anyway? I figure it’s when he’s starting to learn how to use his tongue to push the food back and forth in his mouth. I see Little Mochi doing that quite a bit with the one Cherrio in his mouth.

It’s great to see such a wonderful milestone. In addition, he’s now able to hold up his own sippy cup. So far, I think he’s doing OK.
