Solids or not

I am in the process of expanding Lucy's repertoire of tastes and textures. We started small a few weeks back with some rice cereal. Although Lucy would make some funny faces, she seemed to tolerate it. Then I moved to sweet potatoes, one of my favorite vegetables. She didn't seem excited about this either, but again she tolerated it.

I then decided that maybe she would like to try some fruit, a banana perhaps. That was comical. I don't think she swallowed one little bit of any of the banana I gave her. Not to be defeated, I tried several days in a row but she was just not biting (literally).

I then had a brilliant idea, maybe what Lucy was really craving were peas, the delightfully sweet pint-sized morsels that I dearly love. Well, she gagged and choked and spit and spattered and let me know without a doubt that peas were not for her either.

Somewhere along this journey, Lucy also decided it would be hilarious to "blow raspberries" while she is being fed. This results in a nice showering of orange, green and white all over both of us. Which she seems to thoroughly enjoy.

I made applesauce and will give her a taste tomorrow. Only time, and our outfit, will tell if she likes it.
