For the last time Mom, Gerber ONLY!

I have been trying to get Madison to eat "real" food for the past few weeks now. I've tried mashed up bananas, cooked carrots and watermelon. Each time she spit it out and made a horrible face. The banana actually made her throw up (yeah, it was fabulous). I tried the watermelon IN her actual baby food. She ate the baby food and THEN spit out the watermelon (so smart). A few of my very lovely and talented friends suggested it might be the texture of the food and not the taste. Ok.. well let's try a different route. I picked up some rice cereal and mixed that with mashed up banana's.. here was the outcome. I think the face says it all...

 here it is.. just a simple bowl of mushy bananas

ok.. trying it... and...

ugh.. what IS this stuff, MOM!

nope.. i'm done

Well.. fast forward to this evening for dinner. I decided to cook carrots and mix it with the cereal. I get the cereal from the pantry and I realize I never put it in the bananas! The cereal box was unopened. *DOH!* Basically I gave her bananas mixed with formula. I wondered why is was runny but I just didn't question it further. I guess the "pregnancy brain" continues after birth. So I think we have success with the carrots! See for youself...
