Trickery and Teeth

Jonas has been doing such a great job eating fruits that we decided it was time for Green Beans. He loves peaches, applesauce, bananas, and sweet potatoes. I thought for sure he would take to the green beans. Not so. He did not like them one bit. I had to feed him 2 bites of applesauce, then one bite of green beans to trick him into eating them. He is a very smart little boy, so one bite for every 2 was about all that worked. Towards the end I was mixing it up pretty good with little complaint from him.

The next morning I decided he really needed to be eating some of his rice cereal, too. He REALLY did not like it. I had to basically mix a little cereal with a lot of applesauce. He still would lick the good stuff off the spoon and leave the cereal. I got him to eat an ok amount before he just pitched a royal fit. I am starting to get a little concerned he isn't eating the cereal like he should be and he is missing nutients. I have decided to let his teachers have the fun with cereal next week and see what happens.

In other news. We think Jonas might be teething. It is actually very hard to tell. He seems to have some of the signs, but not all of them. He doesn't seem to be in a whole lot of pain, but I think he has a high tolerance. He did wake up more than normal the past 2 nights and he was extra fussy. One time we gave him Tylenol because we did not know what else could be wrong. It seemed to have done the trick. We'll see what happens.
