About two weeks ago we gave Gwen her first taste of rice cereal. We had read that when they start obsessing about watching you eat and reaching for that food that you're eating they might be ready for solids. Gwen definitely obsesses and I think she wants to eat what I'm eating but that part is hard because she eats (or put in her mouth) absolutely everything...including the cat.
Her first experience with rice cereal resulted in that scrunched up 'I don't like this' face. Second time (a week later) the same. This week, still not liking it. I thought that maybe a little more flavor would be enticing for her so I tried a tiny bit of peas mixed in with the cereal....still yuck. Last night I experimented with some mashed sweet potatoes thinking maybe something sweet would be the ticket....yuck again. So, we'll keep trying some new flavors every week or so until she finds something she likes. Her little personality sure is stubborn!
