Watermelon & Blueberries

We've gotten so relaxed about Little Bear's eating already. We introduced two new foods yesterday, watermelon and blueberries. He tore up that watermelon! Absolutely loved it. He had some blueberries this morning again for breakfast too, along with some strawberries. Babe sure does love his fruits!

Grilled Cheese

Yesterday Little Bear had grilled cheese. I did research and found that if there isn't a history of dairy problems in your family, it's totally fine to start giving some dairy like cheese and yogurt at this age. He did okay with it, gagged on the melted cheese a little so I don't think that will be happening again for a while. Today he tried organic baby puffs for the first time. He can't get them into his mouth much so I feed him but he loves them. He also tried some ground kangaroo meat. He ate it but didn't seem too impressed.

Too busy playing to use hands!

Nom nom this is different!

Peas, Green Beans and Hummus

Little Bear had his first green beans and they were yummy! He has had hummus and peas before, I just haven't been keeping up with the blog very well. It's hard when you have a crazy little 6mo old! He's crawling and trying to pull up on things now. 4 days until he's 7 months, it's hard to believe. Lately he's also had some ground beef and ground turkey, both of which were okay but he liked turkey better. He also had a banana and squash pouch he didn't like too much. I'm glad he likes green beans and peas, finally a green veggie to get in his belly!

Yum green bean!

Love the smile.

Splash my hummus!

Bananas are my favorite, I'm a pro now.

Chicken

Little Bear got some shredded chicken today. He was totally uninterested. I had to hold some up to his mouth to even get him to take a bite. Maybe it was too bland? I'm going to give him some with a little seasoning tomorrow. 

Feeling it out. 

Another thumbs up! ha!

Neat fangs!

Spaghetti Squash

For the most part Little Bear has been getting food lately that he's already had. We've been reintroducing things he didn't like to see if he will eat them now. Either that or I've been too lazy to make him something. Yesterday I gave him some spaghetti squash from our lunch. He was very unimpressed. He had a fun time playing in it but I don't know if he really even ate anything.

Disgusted at what I've given him.

I guess I can try it.

I don't like it, it makes me angry!

Hahaah this cracked me up! Accidental thumbs up!

I have some chicken in the crock pot right now to shred. His first meat! I hope he likes it.

Green Bell Pepper

Today for dinner Little Bear got a scrambled yolk, some leftover pear/pea pouch and green bell pepper. We were at grandma's and I didn't have any healthy cooking oil so I just threw some strips in a non stick pan on the stove. They softened up okay and he sucked on the strips and took a few bites. He didn't seem to impressed but not disgusted either. Didn't get pictures but plan on offering them again this week so I'll try then for some pics.

This morning we revisited avocado. He seemed to like it this time! I think it was a little over ripe because it was way squishy. He made quite a mess. Even his diaper cover needed changed. He looked very proud.

Did I do something bad?

Pear/Pea Pouch

I generally don't want to give Little Bear purees but thought a pouch would be good for when we're out. I found some organic ones and gave him a pouch of peas and pears yesterday. He can't really eat it himself so it was me squeezing it in his mouth then just making a pile and giving him a spoon. He likes it so yay for sneaking in a veggie! No pics.
