It's New Food Day!

So every Saturday is otherwise known around here as New Food Day-YAY!!!! Cam tries something new and mommy and daddy watch excitedly for his reaction. As new parents, the hubs and I had no idea what to expect from Cam when he started to eat solids. We had heard all sorts of tales about gagging and choking and spitting and the like. The typical reactions you would expect to pureed pasty veggies. So naturally we anticipated something along those lines. Nope. Not Cam. My boy LOVES food. He excitedly slurps up whatever is on that spoon and gets near his mouth. Even last week when we tried peas. He wasn't enthused but he took it like a pro. Although we did catch a slight shudder around the third bite... So anyway, by this time we have been through several new foods with pretty much the same reaction to everything. This week was sweet potatoes. I baked them last night and tasted a few bites before pureeing them up. They were so sweet and delicious. The hubs and I were certain they would be like "baby candy" to him. Especially after a week of peas. Here are the highlights.

First bite.

He loved it of course. And was all like "keep it coming Dad!"
Then we went on to the oatmeal. Which he eats daily, with every meal.

"No thanks Dad, I'm good on the oatmeal. I'll just have some more of that sweet stuff."

Still we continued on with the oatmeal. We know he loves it. Sweet potatoes are good and all but the boy likes his oatmeal.

This pretty much sums up his feelings on oatmeal today. We knew he would love sweet potatoes-but seriously?


New food day is the best.
