So, You Want To Eat That?

As of last 2 weeks, Suhaana is on a schedule of solid foods 3 times a day. She's been introduced to organic carrots, spinach, green peas and pears (all pureed); in addition to her rice cereal. And I have to say, she's taking to it just fine.

Some of the pureed baby food came in a small pouch, with a toothpaste tube kind of opening. Yesterday as I finished giving the little girl her last solid meal of the day, there was still some organic, pureed pear that was left in the pouch. Baby food has a limited shelf life once opened, and this pouch couldn't be fed to her the next day. It still had some pear left in it. Since it smelt so deliciously saccharine, I was glad to finish it off. Just as I was finishing up the contents of the pouch, the little girl was all interested in getting her hands on it. And, as with all interesting things, this one ended up naturally in her mouth. Only this time, instead of stopping her, I just pressed on the pouch; so it released some of the pear right into her mouth.

Poor little thing was so surprised at the sudden explosion of food in her mouth, she recoiled. Raj and I laughed our evil laughs of parenthood for the next several minutes!
