7 months old... My fruit fly

Now at 7 months old Owen has hit all his developmental milestones - yippee! But we're still having trouble with the solid food. He really doesn't like his veggies, he'll eat the fruit happily but any hint of greens and he throws a fit! We've tried peas, carrots, squash, avocado... and the reaction is always the same - eerughhhh. However he loooves his banana (the first food we tried after rice-cereal), and just yesterday we tried pears which he also loved. But I haven't wanted to give him the fruits until he takes the veggies as I really don't want him to get my major sweet tooth... but 6 weeks into trying I think I'm going to have to give up and go with just the fruits to get him really used to eating and then start introducing the veggies again!

The good news is that the lack of any real solid food doesn't seem to be affecting his growth, we weighed him on his 7 month birthday, Oct. 8 and he was 17lbs 12.5oz... that's almost 3 lbs in about 6 weeks, pretty good!


Aren't I gorgeous?


You know it!


You want some more baby blues.... come on then!


Ahem... I don't think so


Are you kidding me with this stuff mum?
