Here are some pictures of his first "meal"... something similar to rice cereal that we found at a local store. We began giving him this cereal about two weeks ago. He didn't seem to take to it very quickly...and after the second day, I decided to taste it myself. And that was when I discovered that it was, in fact, moldy. So Christian's first experience with cereal was the taste of mold because (despite having vaguely printed expiration dates on some processed food here), there really is no guarantee that the food you buy at the store is safe to eat. We had planned on making our own baby food anyway, due to the exorbitant costs. But this experience sure sealed the deal.
So now we have these wonderful pictures... to forever remind us of nearly poisoning our baby with his first foods. Sorry, Christian!

THAT'S AWFUL...!! but so funny too. You just gotta love the surprises of third world living. Man, it's not that bad here in Mali. We still check our expiration labels but so far I haven't found anything off. =)I did buy some questionable olives once....love you guys!
Hi Sharon!
That is a great story...no harm, no foul, right?
We have been reading your blog and Tessas and I have been enjoying "reconnecting" with you guys and your families!
Love, Julie Bock
