Grant and his food





We introduced Grant to baby food a while ago. We started off with oatmeal. The oatmeal did not go over well at all. Not only was he trying to learn how to use his tongue and learn how to swallow a different texture, he also just was not really liking it. We tried it for about a week and then we moved on. Next we tried rice cereal. We had a bit more luck with this....or should I say Lance had a bit more luck. Grant wasn't really eating good for me, but he would eat it from Lance. There were even two instances in which Lance had to make a second helping because Grant was going to town! We then introduced green beans. That did not go over well. I have learned that my sweetheart Grant is a stubborn little guy. He literally closed his lips and would not open them. So then we moved on to sweet potatoes. No luck. Applesauce. No luck. Is he going to eat anything?

Well, we have had luck with some interesting adult food. Sometimes we give Grant our food to suck on and he just loves it. We have given him apples, oranges, strawberries, tomatoes, cucumbers, french fries, pickles, and even a jumbo shrimp. Grant loved every single one of them! So I know he likes the flavors and I know he is ready for more, I just can't get him to eat the baby food. So I am going to go to the store and see what toddler food I can find for him to hold and suck on. Wish me luck!
