Seeing as breast feeding has been a breeze, I have a chunky monkey who has been grabbing at my food for a while now, and I patiently waited almost 6 months to start solids, I thought introducing rice cereal to Ava Kate would be a smooth transition. Ha. Ha. That's what I get for thinking ;-)
I mean, look at this cute face!
Who knew that such a little angel could be such a snot head when you put a spoon to her mouth?
Ok, I joke. She isn't a snot head, but she really doesn't like solids yet.
We tried rice cereal for several days, then moved on to sweet potatoes thinking she might like something with a bit more taste. She didn't. Not apple sauce, green beans, sweet potatoes, or rice cereal. She did take a couple licks off my finger and she would put her hand in the applesauce. (We tried letting her taste it that way to show that it wasn't so bad.) Anyways, we've decided to stick with rice cereal until she gets the hang of it.
It's not even that she just spits it out -- that I expected. She purses her lips, scrunches her little nose, squints her eyes, turns her head, gags until she throws up... but look how cute she is! :)
"Food is for fun" is my new mantra. We're just rolling with it! :)
She's a sweet girl! :)
