After toiling in the kitchen making homemade baby food, Gilbert got his first taste pureed carrots. The outcome was neutral. At first he enjoyed the food. The texture was definitely different and at times gave him pause.
As his feeding progressed, though, his tolerance for the rougher texture waned. He continued to pack in the food, but wasn't swallowing it at the same speed as the more proceed baby food from the store. He had a mild choking episode that scared Kristen a bit, but it all came flowing out when she tipped him forward.
Back in the Bumpo we feed him more, but it was clear he was done eating carrots. The last few spoonfuls just sat in his mouth and to signal he was indeed done, he opened his mouth and using his tongue pushed all the food out of it and watched it roll down his bib!
I still have another jar for him, so we'll have to wait and see if his affinity for the carrots improves!
