mashed carrots
Well, thanks to the two teeth pictured below, we decided it might be time for Jacob to try baby food. I was all for waiting as long as possible (I love nursing him!), but he's been really interested in our food for a few weeks now, so it was as good a time as any. We started with mashed carrots, not the ideal first food, but one he was familiar with after the frozen carrot adventure.
Here's a (rather long) clip of our first adventure into real food. I love how he is really interested in the food at the beginning ("hmmmm... what is this?"), and then he suddenly decides that he doesn't like it at all ("Yuck, this is terrible!"). We stopped filming then, but believe me that we tried for a further 10 minutes. Jake had decided that mashed carrots were yucky, and we weren't changing his mind. His disgusted faces were adorable.
He did, however, enjoy feeding himself- he grabbed the spoon and put it and the food in his mouth. That was the only way he would eat anything, towards the end. I feel like he's growing up waaaay too fast.

The fifth bite is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteI like how he was crying at the very beginning until you first introduced the food. "Oh, there's food involved? Nevermind. Happy baby, happy baby."
ReplyDeleteHaha. That's adorable. It's almost like he's so distracted with this cool new "eating" thing at first that it takes him a little while to notice that actually, what he's eating tastes quite disgusting.
