Cami began her foray into the world of baby food about a month ago. She has since had peas, green beans, squash, carrots, and sweet potatoes. She was pretty enthusiastic about everything except the squash, which she still ate, but seemed to only tolerate. And the girl loves her peas. So much so, I have to moderate her intake or we might find ourselves in a sticky situation the next day (pun completely intended). This past week we decided to try fruit. I began with peaches because I didn't want to start with apples or bananas and make her gassy, or start with pears and make her explode. :) She obediently opened her mouth for the spoon (perhaps expecting some yummy carrots?)...... and then immediately started crying as she registered the new flavor. I thought perhaps this was due to her having a little fussy day with her teeth. So I tried again a few days later. Immediate crying again. Peaches, apparently, are foul. Yesterday I decided to go with bananas. Everyone loves bananas, right? Nope. Cami got down about five or six bites with a face of absolute disgust each time I put the spoon in her mouth. She didn't start whining like with the peaches, but it was definitely not an enjoyable experience. Who would have thought that MY child would have a distaste for sweets?? She only had about 8,000 Oreos during my pregnancy. Maybe that's what she wants......
Addendum: I wrote this post a few days ago. Cami seems to be liking fruit a little more. Still not as much as green beans and peas, though...

I have a little trick for bananas that really worked for Sydney...I mixed it with avocado and she would gobble it up! Have you tried avocado? Sydney LOVED it and I liked feeding it to her because it's such a good fat for them. Pears were her favorite fruit.
