A Pickle off the Old Block

Dear Conor -

Somedays I simply don't know what else to do but laugh.  You have been giving me a very difficult time with solid foods.  You just don't seem to want to eat.  You cry and want my food but then when I try to give it to you I get a scrunched up nose and you shake your head.  You refuse to open your mouth for pureed food and anything I put on your high chair tray ends up as a snack on the floor for Hunter.

So, today (9.6.12) I was sitting on the floor playing with you and eating a deli style dill pickle.  I love pickles.  Your Auntie Cathlin loves pickles and so does your Uncle Sean.  As kids we used to eat a jar a week and always wanted the pickles off our parents plates.  I'm not sure about your Uncle Sean anymore but Auntie and I still love us some pickles!  Funny thing is though - when I was pregnant with you I didn't eat that many pickles even though they say all women crave them!

So, back to our day.  I was sitting on the floor just munching on my pickle when your little face popped up in front of mine and the next thing I know your little mouth is closing in on my pickle!  So what's a Mommy to do?  I let you have it!

Going in for the bite

I admit - I was a little shocked when I did not get a sour face from you and you went back in for more pickle.  You simply kept sucking the juice from the pickle and munching a little bit on the core of it.

Yum Yum!
So, there is no doubt about it Conor - you are a pickle off the old block (ha ha ha)!

xoxo
Mommy
