Carrots!

Today, Mason had his second vegetable... carrots!  We started solid foods right at five months with rice cereal and he wasn't a fan, so we waited a while and tried peas.  He wasn't much happier about the peas, but after a few days seemed to like them.  So, today we tried carrots.  (Random cute side note:  When Meredith saw me preparing Mason's food, she said "You gonna feed Mason?" I told her "yes" and she said "You not gonna feed him out of your tummy this time?"  Funny how sweet little minds work! And this first picture is here just because it's adorable.)

The pictures below don't really do the experience justice.  He gagged!  Not a fan of carrots, it seems!  I'm beginning to think it's the texture of the purees, because when he has mashed up food, that isn't as thin, he seems to love to eat! 

 I also gave him his mesh feeder today with carrots in it, to see if he liked it any better than the purees.  He chewed on it for a second and threw it in the floor.  Oh well, try again next time! :)

I can't believe he will be 6 months old tomorrow!
