so we tried solids this afternoon...

... and they made Joshua cry.

I wanted to skip cereal, so we started with bananas, since I have read multiple places that fruits are more similiar in taste to BM, so it's an easier transition. well, we mushed up some bananas and gave them to him. he picked the pieces up and just kind of held them. I tried to put one up to his mouth and dragged it across his lips, and he made this hilarious disgusted face. finally, he put a piece in his mouth and "chewed" it for a few minutes and spit half out. I think he swallowed the rest.

we'll try again tomorrow and see if he does any better.

Haha. He isn't in a hurry Don't worry about the disgusted faces though, my little pig does that even if he wipes it clean!! In fact, he never spits the food out.

that's good to know, thanks

we got it all on video. he made the funniest faces we've ever seen him make, and then when i was trying to hold it up to his mouth after he took one bite, he started crying, so that "meal" was over.

Don't be discouraged. My 4 year old hated all foods until 8 or so months when she started to put things in her mouth herself.  Then she loved them!
