John likes his food to be mushy. Anytime that we have tried to introduce chunky food to him, he starts to gag and spit it out. It's a big concern for Maureen; however, I figure he's just being like me.
Anyway, Maureen had to go into school today for her parents' meeting and it was up to me to give our boy his lunch and bottle. He wasn't interested in the bottle at all. He actually rejected it, so I decided to give him his yogurt and fruit. I thought this would be a good time to get him to eat his chunky foods, so I mixed in spaghetti in tomato sauce with beef into his yogurt.
He did his normal "yucky" face when I gave him the first spoonful, but then he opened up his mouth and gave me the grunt that means, "More". He kept on eating it and he chewed with every mouthful. This is definitely a step in the right direction for his eating habits. I even tried his lunch. It was pretty good. I can see how adults can subsist on baby food if it all tastes that good.

What a big man he's becoming! Way to go John! p.s. I sympathize with Maureen: we mothers can't help but worry over things like our child's eating, sleeping and pooping.
