The Applesauce Experiment

In our efforts to expand Evan's culinary palate, we started giving him lots of new foods in January. So far he likes pretty much everything except spinach, though even that I can get down him if it's mixed with other veggies. He definitely has a bit of a texture issue - on certain days he won't take green beans (too chunky) or sweet potatoes (too sticky) - and on certain days only has a sweet tooth - pears, pears, and more pears please! He's also way into "big people food", and is always trying to snatch whatever Mommy and Daddy are eating. In that realm, he's now into rice cakes and pretzels, fruit in his mesh teether thing, biter biscuits, and his all-time favorite - frozen bagels. It's so cute to watch him try a new food though, as he goes through quite the range of emotions while deciding if he likes it or not. Here he is trying applesauce for the first time:

And the verdict is...he likes it!
