And then there was a bite.
And the result? Meh.
But we kept going, allowing for the recommended three day wait before trying something new. We were excited to move on to some real flavors. We picked carrots as her second food and had some avocados waiting in the fridge. Unfortunately, carrots did not go over well.
We didn't even get to take pictures of the avocado. She started crying the second it reached her lips. It also caused a little of an aversion to the highchair. So we backed off for a few days and tried a little rice cereal here and there holding her in our laps. A trip to the store to get some oatmeal is where things started to turn around. On her second day of oatmeal (which also happened to be on her 6 month birthday) she devoured the entire bowl. We could not get it in her mouth fast enough. I'm sure the flavor helped but we like to think that she really just wanted to wait until she was officially 6 months old before she could really enjoy her food.
Since then we've had many successes and pears are the favorite so far. She's even decided that she does like carrots. We haven't been brave enough yet to go for the avocado again. Our plan was to stick with one food at a time and slowly introduce the mixed food like we did with Audrey.
However that all got thrown out the window tonight when she tasted and LOVED some our split pea soup. Audrey ended up happily finishing Cora's pureed peas while Cora feasted on Audrey's soup.
