So we are slowly advancing on the solid foods front. For a few days Xander declined all solids due to teething and having a cold. When he felt better we started up again but he suddenly hated cereal. Well, no child of mine will hate cereal. It's taken a few tries, but he is downing it like a champ again. I'm also mixing prune puree into it to ease the constipation.
Xander is loving the green veggies. Really, he can't get enough peas. He likes the green beans except for last night when he choked on them. I guess he was trying to eat too fast.
He tried applesauce over the weekend and that did not go over well. He ate it and looked concerned and started hacking and coughing. Something about the cold and the texture he just did not like.
Yesterday Xander tried peach puree for the first time. With every bite he'd lean forward and open his mouth and gobble it. But then he'd get this look of concentration like he was trying to decide if he really liked it or not. Then he'd lean forward again.
I'd like to make some purees myself. I tried with peas, but the food processor I have is a cheap version that came with the blender. It took forever to get it even remotely pureed. Then the peas had such a strong taste that Xander completely refused them. I'm hoping to make potato puree to mix with it in order to tame the flavor.
Xander is working hard to crawl. Or stand up. Mostly he just accomplishes downward facing dog. Then he lays down and gets into cobra. Then he wiggles his head and his legs. Then he laughs and rolls around for a while.
As a side note, Xander has fallen asleep in his jumperoo twice today. It's hard being a baby.
