Solid Food?? Nah.....Not a fan!

     So, we started the rice cereal last week and it has not been going very well!  We have tried it at least 1 time a day and twice if we get extra time....and every time ends up with the same result of throwing away almost the entire serving.   Sawyer fusses everytime we put the spoon to his mouth...he now clenches his gums together and lips closed and swings his head side to side as if he is telling us "NO!"  It is rather funny...but also frustrating because I cannot believe MY child would not like to eat!  C'mon who would guess that!  So, I went to Wal-Mart and bought rice cereal with mixed fruit as well as some stage 1 vegetables (we plan on making his food but at this point want to find SOMETHING he will eat).  
     Well, we tried the rice cereal with mixed fruit at breakfast and got the same treatment.  Hmmmm....guess he doesn't like mixed fruit either.  We then tried some green beans...you guessed it...the same result. We're so dumbfounded by this because Sawyer shows all the signs of wanting to eat "real" food.  So, I suggested to Keith let's give him the spoon and see what he does with it....and guess where it ended up....yep, in HIS MOUTH!  Now, why can't we put the spoon in his mouth but he can!?  So, we put some green beans on it and handed it over!  We had a serious mess but he got more in his mouth than we did! Who knows what will happen next, I just hope he gets used to this eating solid food stuff!  The next couple of weeks shall be very interesting! Wish us luck!
