First Foods

Last weekend, LLM tried his best to eat MadMommys food off her plate.  Here he is trying to eat my corn....

So, as I've been reading and have been told by other moms, when he's ready for food you'll know because he'll be really interested in your food.  I took the above as he's just about ready. 

On Tuesday night, I ground up some oatmeal and made an oatmeal cereal, and laced it with ground up quinoa.  Not really sure why I did it that way...I just felt like it.  I like quinoa...so maybe LLM would too?  Hahaha.  ::shrug::  We also tried carrots.  In hindsight, I probably should have tried something else, maybe peas or sweet potato.  He wasn't a fan of the carrots.  I tasted it too...and I couldn't blame him for making a face and shaking his head every time a carrot filled spoon came toward him.  But bless his little heart, he ate it if I shoved the spoon in his mouth anyway.  The cereal took a few bites before he realized what was going on.  He was quite confused with why strange stuffs were in his mouth.

This experiment was quite entertaining.  LLM is such a character.  He's too smart.  Even when I mixed the oatmeal with the carrots, if he could smell the carrots on the spoon he wouldn't open his mouth.  LOL silly boy.  He's still quite confused about the texture and flavors.  But at least for now, he's not spitting it out.  He just makes a 'this is icky' face while he eats.  Fun times.  <3
