I've been trying to introduce Chloe to a variety of fruits and vegetables, in both baby food form and the real thing. I really don't want her to be as Food Fussy as I am. It's really hard to cook for!
She's done very well so far, with the exception of baby food peas, and I can't blame her. They smell worse than the real thing. I was trying to feed her peas on a night we got McDonald's for dinner. She actually threw up the peas, and I felt bad that we were getting junk food and she had to eat mashed peas, so I gave her applesauce or something instead.
The other day I gave her a piece of real strawberry. She scrunched up her face, and I said I understood, they can be very tart. Even I like a bit of sugar sprinkled on mine, which kind of negates the fact that I'm eating fruit, but I guess it's better than a handful of Oreos. So I didn't force the strawberry.
I asked Bryan to pick up some of the baby food Puffs for her. It's like Cheerios but they dissolve instantly so there's less risk of choking. He picked out the strawberry and banana flavor. Sounds good! I gave her one puff in the morning and she spit it out. No big deal. In the afternoon, I tried again. She spit it out instantly. I tried to put it back in her mouth and she pinched her lips shut. I tried one more time and she pinched her lips and made a "raspberry" sound. Pffft! Chloe does not like strawberries!

Ha! That's my girl! Although they say it takes seven exposures to a food before a kid will like it, so I guess you could keep trying. I like the flavor, just not those seeds.
neither does her dad!!
Let me know if you wanna take 7 month pics now that she is sitting up!!
Sweet girl! :D
