My first foods...

I started eating foods other than oatmeal on Friday, December 21st. They tried to feed me something they called avocados, and at first I was so excited when I saw my bowl that I opened up wide and took a big mouthful. It turned out to be the most disgusting thing I have ever tasted. I didn't like it at all, and I spit every last bit of it back out at mommy. She tried again, and it made me gag! Next, they disguised the avocado by mixing it with my oatmeal, and although I could tell there was something different about it, I ate it anyway. The next day, I ate the green tinged oatmeal and actually enjoyed it. Then I tried applesauce for the first time, and I didn't like that it was different at first and made a face that everyone thought was funny. It didn't take me long to realize that applesauce is really the bomb, and now I gobble it right up! At first, I would cry when they didn't feed me fast enough, and then I would cry when I ran out of food to eat!
These days I am eating a variety of different foods such as prunes, green beans and sweet potatoes. Mommy feeds me my oatmeal mixed with fruit in the morning, then I have some sweet potatoes for lunch, followed by green beans for dinner. I really love my new menu, and can't wait to try other things! When we went to the store, mommy almost got me some guava and mango, but she realized it was a 2nd stage food, so it looks like I will have to wait for my exotic fruits!
