Emma's first tooth has finally arrived, and she seems to be a bit more interested in what we are eating lately so we decided to give her a taste of cantaloupe today. I blended it up in my Vitamix with a bit of water so it was more like melon juice. She wasn't sure what to think about it. She only ate about 6 teeny bites...maybe a 1/2 teaspoon. She loves just sucking on a cold piece of melon though. Must feel good on her gums.
We also have given her tastes of pear, cucumber, and a little bit of avocado. She really just sucks/teethes on them (except the avocado, which she really wasn't into). The pear was her favorite!
I LOVE how inquisitive babies are. Emma loves to feel, examine, taste, and really have a whole "experience" with her food. She hasn't really figured out yet what it is or how to eat it, but she likes it. She is excited to try new flavors and textures. The whole experience is very fun.
We'll keep giving her tastes, and let her practice and experiment for awhile. Then when she is really ready to eat she will know how and can dig in!
