I have been worried that Mason would be a super-picky eater since the only baby food he'll eat (still) is squash and applesauce.
Well, lately it has seemed that he will eat anything - as long as it's what I'm eating. I've tried making things specifically for him, but he prefers to eat off my plate. I'm ok with that for now.
Most mornings we share a bowl of hot cereal or Cheerios. He also seems to like rice, pasta, broccoli, asparagus, cucumber, cheese, carrots, apples, potatoes, chicken, salmon, avocados, crackers, pears, etc. He has even tasted a few sauces like spaghetti sauce and a mild curry that he seemed to like. The trick is trying to get a full "meal" out of any of these items. He moves on quickly...so he still gets a lot of squash and applesauce.
Here he is, begging for his favorite...yogurt. He gets really excited when I eat it, and he is getting big enough now to climb into my lap to get it.
I still get the "grossed out" face a lot. He squints if he doesn't like something, if he gets too big a piece of food, if it is sour, hot, or cold. This a photo of him stealing my orange slice and tasting it. As you can see in the next photo, he soon got used to the taste and happily chomped away.
It took awhile for him to handle anything with texture, but he has really been getting adventurous the past couple weeks.
Uh oh. Now I need to go empty his mouth. He just bit off a piece of yoga mat that he's chomping on. Guess it's time for a snack!
