For the Love of Food

I know I have posted this picture before, but it is one of my favorites!

We started Logan on solid foods a little over two months ago, and I still get such joy out of giving him new foods to try. Up until yesterday there was only one food that he did not like, avocado. Not that I blame him. I would not want to eat spoonfuls of avocado either. However, in the past two days, he has decided he does not eat broccoli or peas anymore.  And this was after eating both of them multiple times!  I guess he has something against the color green.  I am just really hoping that I do not have a picky eater on my hands.  He does continue to do well with all of his other veggies.

In the veggie department he has had sweet potatoes, carrots, acorn squash, peas, broccoli and yellow squash. On deck in the next week or so are green beans and zucchini. We will see if the dislike for green veggies continues.  The fruits Logan has enjoyed so far are pears, apples, bananas, and peaches. This weekend he got yogurt for the first time which he is really enjoying. I love that growing season is in full swing in New England and that I am able to buy a lot of the food that I prepare for him from the local farm. He is currently eating three “meals” a day in between breastfeeding.

 Yogurt gets a thumbs up.

The boy's food has to be pureed with a few mashed exceptions. I have tried to give him very little bites of a few different foods (bananas, cut up Puffs, cheese) and he does not tolerate it very well. With the Puffs and the bananas, the bites were right behind his front teeth and he started gagging like he was choking (this is the same thing that he now does with peas and broccoli). He's a little dramatic. He did well with the small pieces of cheese, though. Regardless, I think that he may be on the pureed menu for a while longer.
