Pears


PEARS?!?!? That was the scream that came from the boy's mind today. They seem so mild.., so sweet. They seem like just about anyone would like them. Well.., we're not quite sure what Mason thinks of this supposedly tasty fruit. This morning Mason christened his high chair and with that ate his first solid foods. He sat buckled into his 5-point harness space saver chair just perfectly. He was all smiles and 'coos'. He loved the new experience. We put on his duckie bib that his cousin Meredith gave him and things couldn't be better. Then 'the pears' entered the picture and confusion set in.
He wasn't sure what his trusted mother was doing to him. There was a look of disgust and shock on his face each time the spoon touched his mouth.
I tried to assure him that one day he would love eating and that this would be fun for him. He didn't seem to be buying it though.
In fact.., he chose eating the duckie bib over the pears.

That boy is just too cute! That first solid food feeding is always such a fun occassion, but you're right -- it is so confusing to the poor little guys! Have fun with this new stage!

Kamryn just tried Rice cereal the other day. They kinda don't know what to do with this new texture. It's so fun.
