Carrots

Last night Kaden got to try Carrots for the first time.  This was his first introduction to the world of tastes.  (Milk and Rice Cereal are pretty bland!)  He eagerly leaned forward in his highchair for his first bite.  (He loves to eat his cereal, even though he makes a funny face.)  Took the spoonful without a problem, then...

WHAT IS THIS?

Although a little bit thrown by this strange taste sensation, he bravely tried another bite.

Mom?  Is it supposed to taste like this?

Then he promptly scowled at me.  I have NEVER seen such a look of utter disgust on a baby's face before.  I, of course, burst out laughing and tell Jeremy to take more pictures!

Please don't make me eat anymore Mom!

You don't seriously want me to take another bite do you?

Fine... I'll just spit it back out!

I think that I have just been told 'No' for the first time!  I guess we will try carrots again another time.  I served them warm to him, maybe I should try cool, or room temp. perhaps?  After convincing him to try a total of 3 bites, I let him off the hook and made him some cereal.  He kept looking at that orange spoon like, 'You aren't getting me to eat any more of that garbage Mom'.  I did get him to try a bite of his cereal and then eat some of it, but he definitely was not as interested in it as he was before.  We will see if he still likes it when I give it to him for breakfast in a little bit.  :)  

I guess I was a lot more excited about Kaden trying new foods than he was!
