An Experiment in Diet

I decided to try Skogen with cereal this week. It didn't go as well as I had hoped, so I think that we'll hold off for a little while longer, but here are some pictures of the memory, anyway.Skogen was really excited because mom was really excited!

Then mom showed Skogen the food and told him that it was for him and a look of panic went across his face!

The first bite went in and it wasn't too bad until he tried to swallow it.

Then he realized that there was texture to what mom had put in his mouth and he was so miserably grossed out!

This was a totally different experience than what I had with Maida when I started her on cereal. I waited until she was five months old and she couldn't wait to get that food into her mouth. The very first bite she helped me shovel in! Here are some pictures from her big day, October 4, 2007...

Waiting for mom to give her the first bite.

Helping mom give her the first bite! She knew exactly what to do.

Upset that it was all gone! She ate an entire bowl and wanted more!
