He's a big boy

When we started CB on solid food we never gave him any of the pre-made, pureed, packaged baby foods. (3 points in Scattergories :) I just cooked sweet potatoes and mashed them up and gave him little pieces of banana or avocado. So now he thinks he's such a big boy and won't tolerate anything pureed. Like this morning, for example, I made him some millet that I ground to a chunky consistency but he wouldn't eat it; he just wanted to eat my whole steel-cut oats with bananas. So I tossed the millet and made him some steel-cut oats with bananas and he gobbled them down. Yesterday I tried to give him some pureed vegetables and he was gagging and spitting them out. I understood why when I tasted the mix I had made and agreed that it was terrible. I guess he's just a boy that knows what he wants and stands firm in his decisions. I guess that's why once he decided he wasn't going to turn for labor, he stuck by it. No matter how much mugwort I did.
