Let's Eat...

...or not.

A few weeks ago I started Sydney on rice cereal. It did not go well. I've continued to give her rice cereal and ....it continues to not go well. Not only does she push it out with her tongue because she doesn't understand the whole swallowing concept...when I do get it in her mouth she gags and pulls the most dramatic of faces. In fact, she dislikes it so much, she has now taken to clenching her mouth shut and not allowing anything to enter.

She HATES the rice cereal, that is evident. In an effort to work on the eating technique I have now offered her sweet potatoes and peas...both of which she has shown a minor improvement in interest but a few bites in we are back to mouth clenching.

Food with this girl at the present moment is a challenge and may continue to be. Chalk it up to the 927th difference between her and Gavin.

Clearly, she has a flair for the dramatic.







So...onto our first experience with sweet potatoes which went slightly better with some interest and alot of sticking out her tongue...but still, quite a few faces.
oops on the bib....have yet to buy girl bibs when the boy bibs work just fine...until you take a picture where she looks like a boy with a "chick magnet" bib on. yikes.




My absolute fav picture of our sweet potato experience.

Love those first pics of eating! Hopefully she isn't a picky eater like her friend Lauris!
