Food Trials

Mr. P has been having fun putting his taste buds to good use. Well, maybe he's not having so much fun, but Handsome Hubby and I are! We started with rice cereal and then oatmeal at about 4 1/2 months. For the first couple of weeks he really wasn't havin' it. He wasn't sure about the whole spoon thing, and for sure didn't know what to do with these new textures and tastes. But despite his sour faces, we followed everyone's advice and kept trying.

Then, all of a sudden, he started actually eating it (rather than just doing tongue thrusts and spitting it all out). Now at 5 1/2 months he's actually smacking his lips and doing really well with it. So far he's had apple sauce, sweet potatoes, peas (NOT a fave), and pears. Seems like pears are the favorite so far. Next are green beans. Yum, yum!
