feeding Michael

Mikey likes trying new things: new foods, new toys, new sounds. Here he is eating rice cereal for maybe the third time.

"Do I have to wear a bib?"

"What is this mush?" He didn't take to eating off of a spoon until about 6 months. Before then, he'd gag everytime I'd try to feed him.

Michael now plays a game when we eat. He'll eat two bites of rice cereal (none of my kids liked the cereals) then he won't keep it in his mouth. Then I add the green vegetable (this week is peas). He'll eat maybe four bites of vegetable and then keep spitting it out. Then I add the fruit (bananas this week) and as long as there is fruit in every bite, he'll eat the rest of everything I had in the bowl. Surprise, surprise, my boy likes fruit (the other two love fruit also).
