Like father like son!

So it appears we have another food snob on our hands. Sam must have gotten Dan's picky palate. Let me explain. I have tried almost every kind of baby food and he hates them. As I mentioned in a previous post, he gags sometimes enough to make himself throw up. He did eat a tiny bit of applesauce the other day but other then that he doesn't like it. I had to trick him to make him try it. I was eating a bowl of cereal and he was reaching and whining b/c he wanted some of it. So I would take a bite an then act like I was getting more cereal but would really get applesauce and I think he thought he was getting some of my food because he actually tried it. Anyway, I think it is a texture thing though because whenever I am eating anything he wants some of it. I share with him if I am eating an apple or a pear. So the other day we were sharing a pear and he was LOVING IT. I usually don't let him hold the pear though b/c they are so soft he can really bite a lot off so I usually hold it and make sure he doesn't get too much in his mouth. I did this for picture sake.

Anywho, so he was loving the pear but he was making me nervous and I didn't want him to choke so I cut off what was left of the pear and mashed it up and tried to feed him with a spoon and he refused to eat it. I mean refused. Closed his mouth shook his head back and forth and whined. Same goes with apples and applesauce. He loves to chew or suck on an apple but he will only eat a tiny bit of applesauce if any. I should probably try again but he is real picky. Do you think it is because I fed him adult food to early? I really don't know. 

The picture below is him gagging on the baby food just seconds after he was eating the pear. 

I love animal crackers and snack on them often throughout the day. well whenever I am eating them he whines and wants some. So I have started chewing them up and putting them on my finger and he eats some off my finger, he loves it. He would eat the cracker on his own if I let him but way to much of a choking hazard. I gave him some of my string cheese the other day and he loved that. That was even more of a choking hazard then the animal crackers so I refuse to give him that anymore. 

It seems that he likes lots of different foods but mashed up baby food. I think I will try again in a couple days. He has been eating his cereal AWESOME! He refused to eat that a couple of weeks ago when I tried to mix baby food with it. Who knows, he is a character. So we will see if his food snobiness continues through the years.  And then I took this picture the other day and loved it so I thought I would post it. Great picture of his rolls and beef boobies. So cute!
