Well we did it. We went shopping for the first time by ourselves. Overall it was a great experience. Jayden was such a good kid. He was awake the whole time nut didn't fuss at all until the very end, but all I had to do was take him out of his car seat and hold him and he was happy again. I need a food sling to wear in those situations. I have a couple already, but they won't really work well until he grows a little bit bigger. The Eddie Bauer one I bought a few days ago is great it is just not quite tight enough. I don't feel like he is secure enough in the sling and that freaks me out a titch.
While we were out I picked up some rice and oatmeal to add to his bottle. I think it is time to add a little and see how he does. He is nearly 4-months now. That is usually the time when they say you can start giving the little one rice in the bottle. I hope he does well with it. With as much as he is eating now, we are going through formula so quick, and his formula isn't cheap!
I'll let you know how my little experiment goes :)

Yay! I'm so proud of you! I bet that is kinda freaky-my biggest fear would be to drive with the little one! I love that you blog. It makes me feel closer to you!! What are you doing on Thursday, or even tomorrow? I'm getting my hair cut today and then tomorrow I have an exam in the morning, but would love to drop by and see you! Let me know what works best!!
Hey, Carlie! I hear that Jayden and Anna got to play yesterday...wish I could have been there! So I too started giving Anna rice cereal in her bottle when she was about Jayden's age, and the pediatrician told me it really is not worth it. I don't know if it is true or not, but he said there is no evidence that it helps them sleep better, etc., just that it increases the risk for gaining too much weight (in Jayden's case that is not an issue!!). You could probably try giving him cereal from a spoon and see what he does. He might like it!
