Remember that face I was talking about? Well, Ben’s now decided the face isn’t enough to properly convey how much he hates solid foods.
After the whole banana debacle, we decided we’d try apples again. Yesterday, we bought 3 gala and 3 fuji, not remembering which were sweeter. I cooked and pureed him a gala apple once we got to my folks’. Eric remarked, “Wow. This is really good applesauce.” I thought so, too. Leave it to Ben to, so vehemently, prove us wrong.
I will say, he’s quite a trooper. The first spoonful got the look. The second, a worse look. The third, a gag. And the forth? A gag that induced more gags that induced a near vomit all over my mother’s lap.
Well then, on to pears we go! At this rate, this kid’s going to be breastfeeding until he’s 30.
Oh no! The fuji is sweeter, just for FYI. It is good applesauce though. I hope you find something he likes.

My babe won’t do fruits either. We’re purely veggies for the moment.

LOL! Poor kiddo, he’ll realize where the good stuff is at soon enough.
Hang in there Jess.

oh wow
yuck! and after all that effort…I never did do homemade baby food. I’m glad he did try it though, rather than just saying no to begin with.
I sure don’t miss the days of worrying if they’ll eat or not eat. Now my kid just eats anything, and a lot of it. And even better, he can point to what he wants and semi say the word for it. growing up rocks!
