to eat or not to eat.

This little booger doesn't like food.

As in he won't eat any at all.

Yep, he was 7 months old when we tried some first sweet potatoes. After all the teasing and prodding at his mouth with a little taste on the spoon with no success at getting anything in - I resorted to squeezing his cheeks open just enough to put the taste on his tongue.

What do you think he thought of that little taste?

And right after this picture of sadness, he proceeded to throw up everything he'd eaten all afternoon.

Can we say sensitive gag reflex?

He's now 8 1/2 months old and still won't eat a bite. Still throws up if I try anything.

Oh, and he still doesn't take a bottle.

He is such a sweet little baby. So generous with his smiles. Can get a snuggle just by catching my gaze. Now if only he'd be a little more flexible with his eating preferences....

Just kidding, he'll be grown up and throwing goldfish before I know it. I'll take all the snuggles I can get now!
