This Mama loves avocado. I am pretty much always lovin' on anything Mexican related but avocado, especially as guacamole in my absolute favorite! oh how i love guacamole with chips. okay enough about the Mama since I wasn't the one trying it for the very first time.
Christopher is nothing like his Mama. Well at least not for the first time. His first time with avocado was last night and let me tell you, the look all the parents have told me about when giving babies new food have finally made its appearance. Not only did Christopher make that yuck face we even got shaking from his whole body, spitting green stuff right back at me and even tears. I felt bad. Well I actually felt bad for a minute but then found it very comical on how dramatic the event turned out to be. I mean come on. If my Mom gave me something to eat and I ever attempted to spit it back out, shake like I was having a seizure or cry I would have been told to sit there and finish my meal and no tv. But then I was brought back to reality very quickly that it was his first time and I was dealing with a 4 1/2 month old, not a 4 or 14 year old.
I decided that laughing at him was probably not the Mom of the year thing to do at all. This was my first experience with trying to hold back laughter when my child is doing something absolutely hysterical. I was semi-successful but I got plenty of time to try and master this skill since right now I got a screaming, crying, tear-streaked, green faced baby that has just had enough. I was very sad since I just wanted my little boy to share the love of avocado with me. I guess there is always tonight...against his will...and most likely more tears and green spit flying back at my face.
oh I just love avocado, especially when it is sucked on then spit back in my face.
Sorry no pictures today. I decided that tending to a baby that was truly horrified of the avocado experience was a better plan then snapping away in his face for mine (& yours) entertainment in this blog or for Facebook. But no worries, since it was only day 1, I will be snapping pictures tonight on the avocado experience, day 2 trial.
Aaahhh the joys of being a Mom and doing all the things to your children that you hated when your own Mom & Dad did to you.
I will do my best with pictures tonight. If he acts like he did last night it will be hard since he was in full blown tears last night, it was horrible!
ReplyDeleteTry mixing with a bit of Banana. Emma loved that. She now does like avocado but I had to ease her into it.
ReplyDeleteSuma, I just seen your comment. We mixed with bananas and he was still not a fan. We plan to try again later when he can eat the good stuff..guacamole. :)
ReplyDeleteKeith mixed avacado with everything! Gavin loved them! I hope he changes his mind, since they are unbelievably yummy. We just started eating them again-had them on a grilled cheese which G DEVOURED! haha
ReplyDeleteWe plan to try again soon since I love guacamole. I think plain avocado with no seasonings can be kind of boring so once we buy more again I am going to mix with other veggies.
