Two steps forward, one step back: Parker is suddenly refusing to eat solids, I think it is because I tried to slip in a bit of texture on two occasions, and now he won't even open his mouth when we offer a spoon. We are trying a few things to get him to eat and we have managed to get him to take a few bites, but progress is very slow. I'm hoping he gets over this fear of food soon so we can get some more meat on his bones!
Sooo cute! How is the play going?

So adorable. Just love that little guy to death. I love the picture of him peaking over the crib ;)
ReplyDeleteHappy 9 months Mr. Parker! Make sure you bop your cousin on the nose a few times to ward off future attacks.
ReplyDeleteAmy, will he use those mesh teething things if you put a piece of fruit in there? Perhaps that could ease him back in to solids?
@Tammy: Its been slow going, but every day he lets us feed him a little more. Then tonight he suddenly couldn't get enough. I just hope he keeps it up.
ReplyDelete@Sarah M: I know sometimes I just want to cuddle him all day, but the little bugger won't sit still!
Sarah C: Tried it this weekend and he only wanted to chew on the handle. Tried it again tonight because he kept wanting more food. He sucked on it for a little bit then played with it and smeared it on Brian's arm.
