Sugar Crash

Today we introduced apples into Graham's diet. We're using natural organic applesauce that you can buy in the store. Since we are going to Las Vegas this weekend I wanted to start with something that would be easy to travel with or at least find in the store if security took away my applesauce packs. When we get back I will try my hand at making my own baby food.

Anyway, I first mixed it in with his rice cereal hoping that it would make it taste better and get him to eat more. Well, I wouldn't really say that he eats. It's more like I try to force food in his mouth and hope that he swallows a little bit. But, as they say, practice makes perfect. And so we practice each morning. He was doing about the same with his apple cereal mix so I tried giving him a spoonful of apples only. He did a bit better with this. I was feeling hopeful! He was actually kind of opening his mouth and accepting the spoon.

They say babies have a preference for sweets and I'm sure the apples tasted much better than the rice cereal. Well, as I went in for another spoonful of apples he fell asleep! It's not like I had him sitting there as I was doing stuff around the kitchen. I just took the spoon from his mouth and dipped it into his bowl and when I went back towards his mouth he fell asleep! So funny! It is the true meaning of a sugar crash! I captured a bit of it on camera. He is still up in the kitchen snoozing away in his high chair.
