Solids

So the gordo started solids this week. Its actually not as exciting as I thought it was going to be. Sad face. He doesn't seem to be too adamant about eating these foods because he just keeps spitting them back out. I know this is supposed to happen because he hasn't quite mastered the art of not pushing his tongue out but I guess I was expecting him to inhale his food. Not the case...

Also, he has recently become easily distracted and I am constantly having to tell him to "FOCUS" when I feed him because he stops, looks around, talks, smiles, laughs and pretty much does everything BUT eat. If he does that when I feed him you can only imagine how distracted he gets when he has been eating from a spoon....Yea, its pretty bad.

While eating in his chair he is always looking around for what Chaucer is doing. It got so bad I decided to put the burrito on the counter with him so that way he would stop looking at him. Turns out Chaucer is reallllyyyyyyy loving the fact that his little brother isn't such a fan of solids yet because Chaucer is a HUGE fan.

So far we've tried: sweet potatoes, applesauce and we are currently on bananas. B-A-N-A-N-A-S! I do think he is getting better and better as each day passes and his Doctor says solids aren't really important until 6 months anyways.

My dad says all of this messing around on Jackson's part is due to his lack of taste. Apparently he hasn't developed a palette for the finer things in life ;). We're not worried though, I just know that soon he'll be eating foie gras and ordering a side of truffle oil with his meals before we know it!
