Say Cheese!

Brendan should be eating finger foods by now. He has the dr's okay to pretty much eat whatever I'm eating (with some exceptions) just cut up real small. Well, he just hasn't been into it. The boy is a Taurus all the way... so stubborn! And if he doesn't like the taste or texture of something he can actually make himself gag and throw-up! So I've been trying finger foods and the only thing he'll eat is Gerber puffs (these little fruit flavored cereal things.) I've tried his favorites that he likes pureed and he still doesn't like 'em... cut up bananas, little pieces of sweet potatos, etc. He just gags and pukes. Super. I've also tried crackers, cheese, pasta pieces, etc. All leading to gags. But tonight I bravely tried some Sargento cheddar cheese stick (prior to the jarred food... no fool am I!)... and guess what???? He ate it! Wooo hoooo! I was so excited I tried to take a picture but didn't have the memory stick in the camera. Doh! Anyway... I think this was a big step. Amazing what excites me these days!
