First Foods

We've been feeding Gabe rice cereal mixed with breast milk for a few weeks now and he seems to like it okay. However, Gabe has been utterly offended at the other foods I've given him.

Cases in Point:
1) I tried yams on Thanksgiving: a look of complete disgust.
2) Sneaked yams into rice cereal: are you kidding me?
3) Tonight, pureed apple (Golden Delicious): mmm, this is strange...maybe I like it...no! Sorry!

I know its normal for babies to spit food out, hate it, then like it, like it, then hate it, on and on. But I must say I really thought he'd like the apples straight away. I certainly thought it was good. I was tempted to eat the rest myself. I wonder what babies are thinking when they are being given these new tastes and textures? If anyone has any stories about their babies (even if they are not babies anymore) and eating, do share.

Just keep trying. He'll get it.
I'll talk to him maybe he'll try and make mommy and daddy happy.
