Cereal Blob



Abby's been eating cereal for a few weeks now, and absolutely loves it! She cries if I don't feed her fast enough in between bites and always wants more. So far, this cereal thing has worked out well for us. She's a happy baby at night and sleeps about 6 hours in a row now. It's wonderful.

Something happened during cereal feeding time that I can't figure out. I was wondering if you all could give some suggestions about how this might have happened. I was feeding Abby in the bouncer while Jenna was in the bathtub. I put a spoonful of cereal in Abby's mouth and then turned around to turn the water off in the tub for Jenna. When I turned back around I saw this big blob of cereal on Abby's head. (See the top left picture).

Now, I'm pretty sure that there wasn't any cereal on the spoon that might have fallen off and landed on her forehead when I turned around to help Jenna and I just can't figure out how this cereal blob got on Abby's forehead. Any thoughts?

Needless to say, Abby wasn't happy about the cereal blob. I included another picture of her being cute to offset the screaming cereal blob picture.

Any thoughts on how this could have happened would be much appreciated.

my guess is that she spit it on her hand, then flailed her hand up into the air and it catipulted onto her forehead.

I gotta believe it was on the spoon. Or maybe on the side of the bowl. I know the perils of feeding one while the other is in the tub or on the toilet or running l ike a crazed bohemian through the house. It's easy to get distracted and not realize that you are throwing cereal, sweet potatoes, green beans, poop, whatever, all over the house.

Either one could be true. I just am so baffled as to how this perfectly rounded blob of cereal got there.
