Sam has graduated from the all milk diet! About two weeks ago (it has taken us this long to catch up) we started Sam on a rice diet. Being ignorant as I am, I thought of rice like the kind I ate in Korea for two years-just minus the kimchi. Of course, I was sorely mistaken. The mixture we started him with looked more like milk to me, but apparently it is a solid.
He took to the rice mixture quite well, and for a week or so we fed him that once in the morning and once at night. He was eating it so well mommy decided to thicken it up a bit and add some Gerber green beans to the mix. Sam was not a fan of this change to his world, the faces he pulled while we tried to shove the concoction in his mouth were hilarious. Nothing but pure disdain for the new mix. This was confirmed very clearly when he spit a whole mouthful back at me one pleasant evening. Being the super mom she is, Laura decided to substitute pears for green beans. That was it, Sam was gulping down his food with abandon. In fact, he would start crying when he finished! He knew it was over when we went for the bib and was not afraid of voicing his opinion. The only thing that would console him was his favorite blanket, and as long as it was within arms reach he would calm down nicely, at least long enough to let us clean him up.
He has also taken a liking to mommy's water glass. As with his blankie, any time it is within reach he is going to grab for it. Sometimes he gets lucky and mommy lets him try a little bit, and sometimes he just ends up gumming the top of the glass.
